LIFE STORIES HEIRLOOM BOOK
Bring back the lost art of storytelling!

There are very few creative projects that are more fulfilling and lasting than writing a book. We believe that every person has a story to tell. Sharing those stories with our children and grandchildren is priceless!

Although there is no set way to write a book, we offer a template that will get you started. It includes suggestions on how to lay out your work, and offers sample questions to help you start collecting information. Professional writing and editing services are also available; please call to receive a quote. A custom book celebrating the life of a loved one makes an unforgettable gift.


Even if you want to document the life of someone who is no longer with us, you can take out old family photographs and record what others remember on an audio tape. This can later be narrated into a script and captured into a story format. Scanning old photos will help bring the events to life.


Have you already started documenting family events onto your computer? All you will need to do is cut and paste your text into one of our templates to transform your work into an Heirloom Book. Don't let another day go by without sharing your memories.

REUNION HEIRLOOM BOOK

Family or Class Reunions.
Reunions of Organizations, Associations, Friends, or Colleagues. Every group you are a part of can preserve their shared memories.
Remember the thrill of leafing through your yearbook when you first got it in your hands, or today as you reminisce of days gone by? Now imagine being able to see those same familiar faces with an updated version of their lives today.


Gathering friends, family, or associates to reminisce and share stories is great fun. Heritage Authors® can expand the celebration. Because you create your book online, the workload is shared by all. Document attendees' memories either before or during the event. Use our writing templates, insert photos, and scan old newspaper clippings. We also offer editing services to make the process even easier for you. Make an even bigger impact by including a DVD companion with your Heirloom book of reunion memories.


Family reunions are great times to gather stories and start documenting your family tree. What better time to bring out that old shoebox of photos and sit down with an elder member of the family and ask questions about those strange faces. Who are they, what were they like, what did they do? This heritage slips away so fast; document it for your children and other family members before it is lost.


 

HEIRLOOM COOKBOOK
 
Family Heirloom or Fund Raiser
Nothing is more comforting than sharing our Heritage recipes.

Gather recipes from parents, grandparents, cousins, and friends. Mix in photos around food and eating. Gently stir in images of handwriting long gone. Top with memories told in story form to share with loved ones. This is a gift—and accomplishment—that will be appreciated for years to come.


Putting together a cookbook couldn't be easier. Our templates offer 24 diffrerent ways to lay out your recipes. You can choose your page size to be 6x9 or 8 1/2x11, and typically fit 1-3 recipes per page. The pages can be printed in either landscape or portrait format and black and white or color. You can enhance your project by uploading your own photos or by choosing pictures from hundreds of free food-related images from our database.

To maximize fundraising profits, you can opt for a low-cost coil binding or choose a hardback perfect bind to showcase your cherished family heirloom cookbook. A favorite among avid cooks is the easel binding option which allows you to stand the recipe upright on the kitchen table while working.
