The standard Veteran’s Story Journal Book Creation Process includes:

1. The Veteran’s Story Journal downloadable pdf
2. Up to three hours of telephone interviews (typically broken into three one-hour phone calls) using the 40-question Veteran’s Story Journal*
3. Up to eight hours of LifeBio Story Team editing services, which includes customizing questions within the Veteran’s Story Journal format, and inserting up to 40 of your personal photos (More photos can be included for additional cost)
4. An emailed pdf draft of your story, which can be used for review and making revisions
5. A printed hardcover life story book (See pictures for sample cover options)
6. A lifetime membership to lifebio.com, which allows access to LifeBio’s biography and story templates (for users to type their own answers)

After purchase, the questions can be downloaded to allow time to prepare answers prior to scheduling phone interviews. Once the interviews are complete, the LifeBio Story Team will create a first draft and work with the participant to make any edits needed. When edits are complete, a hardcover life story book is created.

Customization Options Available: For those who have more to include, you can add a phone interview (with its associated editing time) for $120. Sometimes people have their own vision for how to create their life story. If the project requires significant changes from our standard template, additional editing hours may need to be included for $40/hour. Any additional charges will be discussed ahead of time.

More about your Membership: An online membership to www.lifebio.com, our secure online platform, is included. Your life story can be accessed online, photos can be uploaded, and additional stories can be created. Audio from each phone interview is recorded and uploaded into the media gallery of your account on lifebio.com. Through your online account, you will have the ability to print a PDF of your life story at any time, in addition to receiving your included hardcover book.
