Preserve Their Memory in a Beautiful Book
We help you write an heirloom book to honor and preserve the life story of someone you love.
Every life holds a story worth remembering. Too often, those stories fade with time. The memories, lessons, and moments that shaped a life deserve to be preserved and shared.
Next Chapters helps families and friends turn these memories into a beautifully crafted book. The result is a keepsake that can be shared with loved ones and treasured for future generations.
Choose the Approach That Works Best for You
You can create your loved one’s book in whichever way feels right for your family.
Our self-guided tools make it easy and affordable to collect memories, shape your thoughts, and create a lasting book at your own pace.
If you would like more help, we can work with the photos, stories, and notes your family provides, and assist with writing and editing to create a polished, professional book.
No matter which option you choose, the goal is the same: a beautiful heirloom book your family will treasure for generations.
Option 1: Self-Guided Book Creation
Starting at $20/month
Write your loved one’s story yourself using our easy, step-by-step online tools. This option is ideal for families who want to create a meaningful book on their own time, with gentle guidance and structure along the way.
You’ll be able to:
Follow prompts to capture key moments from their life
Organize the story using our chapter-by-chapter outline tool
Upload photos and personal details into a custom format
Use our platform to format and compile everything into a printable book
This is our most affordable option and works well for families who want to stay involved in the process but appreciate help staying organized and on track.
Option 2: Collaborative Book Creation with Our Team
Starting at $749
Work with our team to turn your memories and materials into a polished, professionally written book. This option is perfect for families who want more hands-on help or prefer not to do the writing themselves.
You’ll be able to:
Share stories, timelines, and photos for us to shape into a manuscript
Collaborate through optional calls, emails, or uploads
Review drafts and request revisions
Receive a finished, formatted book ready for print or sharing
This option includes writing, editing, and layout support, so you can focus on sharing the memories while we bring the story together.
What Your Finished Book Can Look Like
Whether you write it yourself or work with us to shape the story, the result is a clean, beautifully designed book that honors your loved one’s life.
Books are custom-designed with:
A clean, readable layout tailored to the story
Photos and personal details placed throughout
A print-ready digital file to keep or share
Optional high-quality printed copies to share with family and friends
This isn’t a template or generic booklet — it’s a meaningful heirloom that reflects the voice and memory of the person you’re honoring.
