ABOUT US
LifeScribe beautifully records real life stories in multiple formats for you to treasure. Whether your own personal memoirs or in celebration of the life of a friend or relative, past or present, LifeScribe will create a fitting tribute that is carefully researched, cleverly written and tastefully presented.
​
Our service is bespoke, and we will keep you as informed and involved in the creative process as you wish to be. You will also have the ability to choose from multiple formats (print and digital) for the finished work.
​
We will create a wonderful Life Story that will enhance the occasion, whether it be as an anniversary gift, a memorial tribute or simply a personal souvenir to be treasured by your family for generations to come.
WHY US?
A good life is not measured by the net worth of an individual but by their emotional and social capital. These include their kindness, social impact, experiences and achievements. A life well-lived blends fulfilment, vision and passion with the enhancement of the lives of others and yet, all too often, we only discover snippets of a person's Life Story in fleeting wedding speeches, obituaries or eulogies, after which details fade with time. LifeScribe provides longevity to the ephemeral, articulation to emotions, expression to modesty and celebration to personality.
​
In fact, keeping it personal is one of LifeScribe's unique selling points. We have no intention to scale our services to achieve industrial levels of output. By choosing LifeScribe, you will be accompanied through the entire process by one person only who has the skill set to interview, research, record, write, compile, design, typeset and publish your story. This keeps things confidential, consistent and collaborative, resulting in the best of partnerships and an enjoyable experience.
​
We are all given the gift of life, and it is up to us and to circumstance how we make the most of that gift. LifeScribe enables you to also gift a life in the form of a person's life story, their legacy, in a format that will endure and help that person's life bring additional benefit to the lives of generations to come, not only sentimentally but also environmentally, as every order pays for trees to be planted.

YOUR LIFE IS IN
GOOD HANDS!
Writing the Life Story of another requires empathy. In turn, empathy is enhanced by life experiences, these enabling your LifeScribe to more easily picture, identify with and convey the challenges encountered by the person they are to write about. Jonathan's life experiences have equipped him well for the task of listening, appreciating, narrating and presenting any Life Story in a most appealing way.
