Questions people ask before starting a story.

StoriLeaf is a guided storytelling service for preserving meaningful memories. You choose a collection, answer thoughtful prompts, add photographs or other material where relevant, and build towards a finished story you can keep, gift, or share.

The first StoriLeaf collections are Life Story and Travel Memoir. Life Story is for personal memories, family history, values, and milestones. Travel Memoir is for journeys, places, routes, companions, and travel reflections.

Yes. One person can start or gift more than one collection over time. Each collection can have its own storyteller, package, progress, pricing, and final format.

Yes. StoriLeaf is designed for gifting. The buyer can start the gift, add a personal message, and invite the storyteller. The storyteller remains the centre of the experience, and their voice should guide the final story.

The storyteller or rightful content owner keeps ownership of the stories, photographs, recordings, and other material they provide. StoriLeaf uses that material to deliver the selected story experience.

Yes. Family members can help gather dates, names, photographs, places, and context. They should not replace the storyteller's voice unless the storyteller has asked them to help in that way.

That is expected for many gifts. The buyer can support the project, but the storyteller's memories, consent, and comfort remain important throughout the process.

No. StoriLeaf is built for people who do not know where to start. Instead of a blank page, you answer guided questions in your own words. The story builds gradually from what you share.

No. The goal is not to answer everything. The goal is to capture the memories that matter. Some collections may have required steps before a final output can be prepared, but you do not need to treat every prompt like an exam.

Yes. Photographs are an important part of many StoriLeaf collections. Photo limits and placement options may vary by collection and package.

Some packages may include voice input or audio-based support. Availability depends on the selected collection and package.

No. Some collections may become printed books, while others may be better suited to digital archives, audio experiences, or another keepsake format. The selected collection and package will define the likely output.

The story comes from the storyteller's own memories and words. StoriLeaf provides structure, prompts, organisation, and support so the material can become a finished result.

StoriLeaf is designed to include editorial care where the selected package provides it. Technology can support organisation and formatting, but personal stories should still be handled with human judgement and respect.

Where a collection includes an edited draft, you can review it before final production. The exact review process depends on the collection and package.

Before final submission, you can continue shaping your answers. After submission, changes may be limited to corrections or review-stage adjustments, depending on the package and how far production has progressed.

The timeline depends on the collection, package, storyteller pace, review needs, and final format. Some people work steadily over a few weeks; others need more time. Package details and timelines are shown before purchase.

No. StoriLeaf is intended to use one-time payments for selected collections and packages, not an open-ended subscription.

Some collections may allow extensions or upgrades before final submission. Availability and pricing can be confirmed for the selected collection and package.

StoriLeaf uses secure online payments. Available payment methods and currencies may vary by market and are shown when you choose a package.

Use the contact form with your question, the collection you are interested in, and any timing you have in mind. We will reply with the clearest next step.

Personal stories and photographs are treated as private material. StoriLeaf does not share your stories publicly without permission.

Access should be limited to the storyteller, authorised account users, and StoriLeaf team members or service providers who need access to deliver the selected service.

You can contact StoriLeaf to ask about deleting story material. Some records may need to be retained for payment, production, support, legal, or security reasons, but private story content should not be kept longer than needed for the selected service.

Do not upload material you do not have permission to use, highly sensitive third-party information without consent, or anything unlawful. Family stories often include other people, so it is important to be thoughtful about privacy.
