A Thoughtful and Well-Structured Journey to Telling My Story

Story Terrace did an excellent job helping write a book about me. What stood out most was how structured and thoughtful their process was from beginning to end. One aspect I especially appreciated was the opportunity to speak with a few different authors before making a final choice. That step made a real difference because it allowed me to select someone whose thinking, communication style, and cultural understanding felt closely aligned with mine.

This careful matching process created a strong foundation for the project and gave me confidence from the start. It made the collaboration feel natural and productive, while also ensuring that my story was captured in a way that felt authentic and meaningful. Throughout the journey, the team was professional, organized, and supportive, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.

Overall, their structured approach, combined with the flexibility to choose the right author, played a major role in delivering a high-quality final product. I am very pleased with the experience and would gladly recommend Story Terrace to anyone looking for a thoughtful and personalized way to bring an important story to life.

Support and Guidance to enable you to publish a book.

It would seem that the company has a well proven web based system to guide a story teller wishing to publish his a book. I found this to be excellent together with the support team steering me through the various stages. The team demonstrated their understanding of my wishes and goals enabling me to gain confidence throughout.

A wonderful experience that exceeded my expectations.

The support that I received during the entire process of my story being captured and the final printing was absolutely phenomenal!

My writer, Brenda McIntyre put all the words on paper to my total satisfaction.

My editor, Tilly Barickman was 100% supportive and "spot on" from the beginning until the very end.

Unexpected Fun

The team were helpful and accommodating throughout. Reliving one's life can be a traumatic experience if the listener/writing partner is impatient or not on the same wavelength. I found the whole experience surprisingly enjoyable and pain free thanks to the professionalism and kindness of my writer.

Working with Story Terrace on my son’s book

I used Story Terrace to get my son’s book published. We were well supported and any small issues raised were dealt with promptly. Our views and opinions were taken on board. Communication was great. The process is a lot more straightforward than I initially thought which was a relief! We worked alongside Xiaofang who made the whole process that much easier! We cannot thank you enough Xiaofang! We will definitely use Story Terrace again!

gift of a lifetime

Wanting to make our parents’ wedding anniversary as memorable as possible, my sister and I decided to give them something truly personal — their very own biographies, bound together in a single hardback book.

What better way for future generations to understand where they came from, and the journey that shaped our family?

A biography isn’t just for the rich and famous. We felt it was a beautiful way to celebrate our parents, their lives, and the legacy they have created.

From start to finish, the entire experience with StoryTerrace was easy, professional and incredibly friendly.

This gift will last a lifetime. The memories will last forever.

Wanted to change a few things at the end.

I had a few teething issues with the wording in my book and wanted to change things once it had gone to print. Hariny was absolutely amazing about this and managed to get it all sorted. Thank you, my experience with Story Terrace has been a really positive one. So happy to help with any query I had.
