Have you lived a big life with lots of amazing memoirs to share? Remember When is a comprehensive memoir that doubles the amount of time spent with our historians, ensuring you have enough time and space to tell us everything we need to know.

The end result is a compelling history that chronicles the ups and downs that make for a glorious life. Memories such as:

  • Growing up in a different country and migrating to Australia
  • The teacher that inspired your live of reading 
  • What it felt like holding your grandchild for the first time

As each story, and life, is unique, our team steers clear of templates and formulaic prose. We view each story individually, shaping and crafting it in your voice, with your style and world view.

We’ll lead you through the different stages of your life, using questions and prompts, so there's no need to worry about what to say, or forgetting parts of your story.

Is Remember When right for me?

This memoir is best for those who:

  • Have a lot of history to pack into their memoir!
  • Thought about, or even tried, to write their own life story but found it too daunting 
  • Have the time to sit for multiple interviews (this memoir has more interview time than the ‘Journey of a Lifetime memoir)
