Ali
What made your dad's workshop feel different from anywhere else?
The smell of sawdust and motor oil. He could fix just about anything. And that old radio he kept on the workbench.

Tell me more about that old radio. Do you remember what he listened to?

From Real Kindred Tales Families
What it actually feels like.
★★★★★
"This was the best gift I've ever received. I found myself laughing, crying, and reflecting on moments I'd almost forgotten. It left me feeling so grateful and connected to my family."
Jean·Verified review · Trustpilot
★★★★★
"With Kindred Tales, I did something other than publish the story of someone’s life. I assembled 50+ love letters to my wife that her family and dearest friends wrote to her on a special occasion."

★★★★★
"I found Kindred Tales when I was looking for a special gift for my grandma's 80th birthday. It allows me to help her write and transcribe her recordings into stories, making the whole process really simple for her."

After completing your purchase, you'll get an opportunity to setup your gift where you can choose to invite them immediately or at a later time. If at a later time, you can schedule it from your home page. Regardless of timing, we'll send them a beautiful email at the time of your choosing, informing them of your gift.
Yes. Buy now, send the welcome email when you're ready: Father's Day, their birthday, whenever the moment lands.
They don't need to. The Reply-to-Email option works on any phone or tablet. Press reply, answer the email, and hit send. Zero tech skills required. For loved ones who struggle with remembering passwords, we also offer passwordless logins through our magic link.
We don't rewrite their words. The AI Edition's Ali interviews have a 'Light polish' option that removes filler words (um, ah) and minor cleanup. There are also options for ghost writing, and 'Keep my exact words' setting leaves their voice unchanged.
Absolutely. We will send you weekly prompts for one whole year, but you are free to login and write as many stories as you like.
Many couples are already sharing Kindred Tales today. We are built for individual users, but couples can either share the same chapter or duplicate it so they each have their own. If they share a chapter, simply add a second text box so they each have their own space to work from. They can also individually reply to the weekly email, which will load each reply as separate text boxes in the related chapter. When it comes to transcription, they can name each audio file as their own and when transcribed, it will create individual text blocks for each chapter.
Our hardcover memoirs are a traditional U.S. Trade Journal size of 6x9, made from hardcover casewrap binding, premium 80# white coated paper, full color interior.
400 pages are included with each book. If their stories run longer, additional pages are 10¢ each. Most memoirs end up well under the included page count.
No limit. Add a photo to every chapter, or save photos for specific moments. They'll appear between text blocks mid chapter, where you want them, not stacked at the front or back.
Yes. You can add up to 20 family members as co-administrators to help with authoring the book or simply to contribute new topics for your loved one to respond to.
Yes. We want you to have a truly personal experience authoring your book and give you full control to create your own topics, invite family members to suggest their own, or modify our pre-existing prompts.
$45 at time of purchase, or you can wait until your book is complete to order additional copies and we'll prorate the price based on the number of pages below 400.
