How It Works
From spoken conversations to a written book.
Refine the story into chapters
Your spoken answers become cleaner drafts, organized stories, and a timeline that helps you see what comes next.
Share and deepen the book with others
Invite loved ones to add memories, confirm details, and enrich the version of the story your family keeps.
Printed Books
Turn a finished story into a real book, printed on demand.
Books can be printed on demand in any quantity, from one personal copy to a full family run.
The goal is complete personalization: hardcover or softcover formats, custom cover graphics, interior photographs, and a final result that feels like a real keepsake instead of just a digital export.
Print Any Quantity
Order a single copy for yourself or enough copies to share across a family without needing a large print run.
Personalized Formats
Choose hardcover or softcover options and tailor the presentation to match the tone of the story you are preserving.
Custom Covers
Use cover graphics that feel specific to the person, the family, and the era the book is capturing.
Photos Inside the Book
Bring photographs into the final printed edition so stories and images live together in the same keepsake.
Write Together
Some of the best stories need more than one voice.
Reads.me works for solo storytelling, but it becomes even stronger when family members help ask questions, add context, and preserve the details only they remember.
Main storyteller
Answer prompts, record memories, and shape the heart of the narrative in your own words.
Loved ones
Contribute follow-up questions, extra memories, and the perspective that makes family history fuller.
Reads.me
Turns the growing conversation into organized stories, clearer drafts, and a timeline you can keep building.
Photos
Give each story the images that belong with it.
Every story can have photos uploaded alongside the text, so the written memory and the visual record stay connected.
Photos are easy to manage: users can set the order, remove images, and add them back later without losing control of the story layout.
Once a user has uploaded at least 10 photos, Reads.me can also play them as a full-screen slideshow for a more immersive way to revisit the story visually.
Upload Photos Per Story
Attach images directly to the stories they belong to, instead of treating photos as a separate disconnected gallery.
Simple Photo Management
Reorder images, remove them when needed, and bring them back later as the story evolves.
Full-Screen Slideshows
With at least 10 uploaded photos, the story can come alive as a full-screen slideshow for family viewing and reflection.
Built for Printed Stories
Organized photo collections make it easier to carry strong visuals forward into future book layouts and printed editions.
Gift Setup
Set it up for a loved one.
Turn the first step into a thoughtful gift. Create the account, add their name and profile photo, and seed the interview with starter questions so they can begin with a warm prompt instead of a blank screen.
Make it personal
Upload a profile photo and set the account name so the experience feels like it already belongs to them.
Prime the conversation
Add a few easy starter questions about childhood, family traditions, or turning points to create momentum.
Give a gentler beginning
Present something that already feels prepared, inviting, and worth opening the moment they receive it.
