Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Talk Your Story?
Talk Your Story is a guided memoir-writing service that helps you preserve your life story in a professionally written book. You speak your memories in your own words. We shape them into a clear, engaging memoir designed to be read, kept, and passed on.
2. Who is Alice, and how does she help?
Alice is your personal guided interviewer. She gently asks the right questions, in the right order, and listens carefully to your answers. There is no pressure, no time limit, and no expectation to perform. You simply talk — Alice takes care of the structure.
3. Do I need technical skills to use the service?
No. Talk Your Story is designed for people who value simplicity. If you can speak into a phone, tablet, or computer, you can use Alice comfortably and confidently.
4. Is my memoir written entirely by artificial intelligence?
No. Alice helps gather your memories. Your memoir is then written and edited professionally, ensuring clarity, flow, and readability while preserving your authentic voice and tone.
5. How long does it take to complete a memoir?
Most clients complete their memoir over several weeks, working at a pace that suits them. Sessions are short and manageable, and there is never any pressure to rush. This is a reflective process, not a race.
6. Can I try Talk Your Story before committing?
Yes. You are welcome to try Alice free of charge. This allows you to experience how natural and straightforward the process feels before making any decision.
7. How does payment work?
You may pay in full or spread the cost over three monthly payments. We also offer an initial deposit that covers your first chapter, giving you confidence before proceeding further.
8. What if I am not satisfied with my first chapter?
If you are not delighted with your first chapter, you are under no obligation to continue. We believe trust is earned, not assumed.
9. Who owns the finished memoir?
You do. Your story remains entirely yours — to keep, share, or pass on to family and future generations.
10. Is my story kept private?
Absolutely. All recordings and written material are treated as strictly confidential and are used only for the purpose of creating your memoir.
