Your life. Your family. Your story.
It’s easy to forget quite how interesting your life has been. But not just your own life. Your parents and your grandparents, your children and your grandchildren. They’re all part of one great story.
That story needs to be told. It needs to be preserved.
At [quite] interesting lives we help you to tell your story. Once it’s told, we preserve it in the best possible form. One that you can hold in your hands. One that can be passed down through generations. One that will last.
We put it in a book.
Where stories come to life
Books have been around for more than five thousand years. There’s a reason for that. They are the perfect format for conveying stories. The technology is self-contained—they don’t need software to operate, or even electricity—and if looked after they will last for centuries.
Computers fail. Software becomes obsolete. Books last. And so does the knowledge inside them.
But in the past books were time-consuming, complicated and expensive to produce. Ironically, with the rise of digital technology, book production is now quicker, cheaper and easier than ever before.
Getting it together
Your family’s story resides in many different places:
people’s memories, photos, letters, artefacts. Imagine if they were all in one place, so anyone could access them, any time.
It all begins with words
Your story begins with words. Maybe you have already begun to write it. Perhaps you’ve thought about it, but didn’t know how to begin. Or maybe your grandmother kept a diary and you want to begin there.
At [quite] interesting lives we make it easy. If you already have the words, we can polish them so they shine. If you don’t know where to start, we can guide you.
Let your pictures speak
Once upon a time, many of our most precious memories were captured on film. These days, we might have literally thousands of photos stored on our computer. These are images of our lives, and they need to be preserved.
At [quite] interesting lives our job is to match words and pictures together, so that one complements the other. Whether its your grand tour of Europe or your daughter’s wedding, we can help you choose the perfect images to go with each part of your story.
Whether they’re prints, slides, digital photos or even negatives, we take your most valued pictures out of the cupboard and off the computer and preserve them for future generations to enjoy

There’s no time like today
Have you ever wished you could ask your grandmother about her life, only she’s no longer here to talk to? People’s stories can get lost so easily—don’t allow that to happen to your family. Let [quite] interesting lives help collect your memories and put them where they’ll be safe for generations to come. In a book. Your book.
