Preserving Memories with Your Loved Ones with Dementia
Storyworth allows you to select questions and they come to your email as often as you choose. You can ignore the questions, or modify them, or write whatever you want. You can type right into the website portal, or you can write in Word and copy/paste or upload it, along with photos. The formatting is not particularly easy, especially the photos, but the final hardback copy of the book is really well done. All of it is shared electronically and as a PDF of the whole submission. One copy of a hard-copy book is included in the subscription, and additional copies can be purchased (thanks Connie W.!)
