FAQ

 

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AI used in these stories?
Absolutely not. Every word is written by a human — no shortcuts, no machine-generated content. You’re paying for skill, care, and the weight of experience. This is storytelling the way it’s meant to be: handcrafted.
Why shouldn't I just do this with AI myself?
You absolutely can — but you’ll get something shallow, vague, and lifeless. AI tools can summarize facts. They can’t write legacy. They don’t understand the weight of memory, grief, love, or humor the way a real writer does. This is meant to last, not just fill space.
How is this different from ghostwriting?
Ghostwriting usually starts with a full outline and a client who already has a book planned. This service is different — it’s story-first, meaning you bring raw material, and we build a book around that. It’s more creative, more collaborative, and usually more intimate.
Can I choose fiction or nonfiction?
Yes. You can choose full nonfiction biography, imaginative fiction with real people, or something entirely invented — all options are available depending on your vision and package type.
What kinds of stories do people usually request?
Family legacies, tribute pieces, love stories, symbolic fiction, first encounters, fictionalized biographies, grief/remembrance pieces, and more. If it matters to you, we can build a story from it.
How involved do I have to be?
After the intake form and optional Zoom call, you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you'd like. You’ll always have a chance to review the draft, but the process is designed to minimize stress and maximize clarity.
Will I be able to request changes?
Yes. All packages include at least one revision round. The Pantheon Packages include up to three full revision rounds. The goal is to make it feel right — not just done.
What format will I receive my story in?
All stories come as PDF, DOCX, and EPUB files. Print-ready formats are included, and audiobook customers will receive downloadable ZIP files as well.
What if I don’t like the story?
That’s extremely rare — but if it happens, we’ll work with you to revise or reshape it. The process is collaborative and respectful. You won’t be left with something that doesn’t feel right.
How do I get started?
Choose the right package for you, fill out the linked form, and submit payment. Once received, we’ll follow up by email with next steps. It’s all straightforward — you’ll never be left wondering what’s next.
