Family story projects

Everyone can contribute. StorySitting turns it into something finished.

Open a private Family Story Room where relatives can share memories, photos, questions, recipes, documents, and voice notes. StorySitting gathers the pieces, prepares the interview, guides the conversation, and creates a finished Story Capsule your family can read, hear, share, print, and keep.

Founding Story Capsule projects begin at $350. Signature projects begin at $750 during founding tests.

The problem

Most families have stories everywhere, but no clear way to finish the project.

The memories are spread across relatives, phones, photo boxes, group texts, recipes, and old conversations. StorySitting gives everyone a simple way to contribute, then turns the scattered pieces into a guided interview plan and a finished keepsake.

How it works

Room → Map → Session → Capsule

01

Open a Story Room

Invite relatives to submit memories, photos, questions, recipes, objects, documents, and voice notes.

02

Get a Story Map

We review what comes in and identify themes, missing questions, and the best keepsake path.

03

Sit for the session

A guided interview captures the heart of the story with the right prompts already prepared.

04

Receive the Capsule

Edited story sections, quotes, captions, voice excerpts, and printable files become the finished project.

Finished proof

A Story Capsule is the finished object families can read, hear, share, print, and keep.

It is not just a transcript, folder, or memory dump. It is an edited family story project shaped from the material your family contributes.

Edited story sectionsReadable story moments shaped from interview and contributor material.
Pull quotesLines worth saving for cards, books, captions, and keepsakes.
Photo and object captionsThe people, places, recipes, rooms, tools, and traditions behind the images.
Voice excerptsSelected audio moments when voice matters more than text.
Printable PDF / mini-book fileA finished keepsake path without forcing a large memoir project first.

Submitted memories, photos, recordings, and interview material are used to prepare your private family project. StorySitting does not publish identifiable family material publicly without permission.

Contributor consentContributors confirm they have permission to share material for the private family project.
Human reviewTechnology can help organize material, but the finished story should still be reviewed by a person.
Finished, not dumpedThe goal is not unlimited storage. The goal is a finished Capsule the family can use.
