Record your family’s history before it’s lost.

This week’s prompt
“What was your childhood home like? Which room do you remember best?”
How it works
Three steps, one beautiful book.
We send one prompt a week
A warm, specific question about their life — rationing-era childhoods, National Service, first flats, seaside holidays. No blank page to stare at.
They reply in their own words
A plain web form, one email away. No app to install, no account to remember — just click the link and write.
It becomes a beautiful book
Every answer compiles automatically into a typeset memoir, ready to download as a PDF and keep — or give — at any time.
A taste of the prompts
Questions worth answering.
“What was your childhood home like? Which room do you remember best?”
“If you did National Service, what do you remember most about it?”
“What was on the table for Sunday dinner, growing up?”
“What did a holiday look like in your family when you were young — Blackpool, Butlins, a week in a caravan, or no holiday at all?”
“Did you ever learn to drive? If you did, who taught you and how did that go — and if you didn't, how did you get about?”
“What did your mother — or whoever saw you out of the door — always say when you were going out?”

Questions
Good to know.
Who is this for?
A parent or grandparent whose memories deserve to be saved — set it up for them in a couple of minutes, then let the weekly prompts do the work.
Do they need to be tech-savvy?
No. Everything happens over email and a single plain web page — no app, no login they need to remember, no software to learn.
Is this a subscription?
No. £25, once. That buys a full year of weekly questions, and the book stays downloadable afterwards, for as long as StoryPrompt runs — nothing renews, and nothing you’ve written is rented back to you.
What do I actually get?
A beautifully typeset PDF memoir, compiled from every prompt they've answered. Download it whenever their story grows, and still download it once the year of questions is over.
What happens to the book if StoryPrompt ever closes?
Nothing is forever, so we'd rather say it plainly. If we ever had to close, every account holder gets an email and at least 60 days to download their book first — and if your year of questions hadn't finished, we'd refund the unused part. The PDF you download is yours and needs nothing from us; that's the reason it's a file and not a login.
