Create a book that tells the story only you can.

Words from the Wise is a service created to help you tell your story in a way that is unique to you.

Through weekly one-on-one sessions, we provide the support and guidance you need to transform your cherished memories into a beautifully crafted, hardcover book.

Whether you’re after help with proofreading, structure, or formatting, or you prefer us to write your story based on in-person interviews, we’re here to assist you at every step. You might already have an idea of what you’d like to include, want to tell your story chronologically—or explore key moments using our thoughtfully curated prompts.

Each week, we’ll help you plan ahead so you always have something to work on between sessions—offering as much or as little support as you’d like.

Once you’re happy with your story, we’ll carefully compile your memories into a professionally bound keepsake, ensuring your special memories don’t just stay as memories, but moments in time that can be shared with your friends and family for years to come.

What is Words from the Wise?

How does our process work?

  • First one-on-one session

    One of our writers will meet with you for a relaxed chat about what you would like to include in your book. From there, we’ll create a personalised plan together - whether that means guiding you as you write your own story, or shaping the story for you, depending on the subscription you’ve chosen.

  • Check-ins

    Your weekly one-on-one sessions are one hour long and tailored to the subscription you choose. With My Life Chapters and The Open Book, we’ll review your writing, provide support with structure and editing. If you’ve chosen The Whole Story, we’ll use this time to interview you and write your story on your behalf, ensuring your book is authentic to you and your voice.

  • Design

    Once you’re happy with your book, including any photos that you would like to include, we’ll begin designing it.

  • Published

    Finally, your beautiful hardcopy book will be professionally printed and delivered straight to your door.

Words from the Wise was inspired from our own personal situations, and wanting to preserve the stories of the people we love.

While we both have grandparents who we are very close to, we’ve realised that there is so much that we don’t know about them. That’s why we wanted to create a way that people could tell their story in a way that is personal and unique to them.

By bringing together these moments into a beautifully crafted keepsake, we help families hold onto the memories that matter most.

Because memories were made to be shared.

What inspired Words from the Wise?

Meet our head writer

Words from the Wise is a project close to my heart, as it brings together the things I’m most passionate about - writing, storytelling and meaningful connection.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised just how much I don’t know about those closest to me, especially my grandma who is a very special person in my life, and my mum, whose passing left a big gap in our lives.

Now 29, I’ve become even more aware of how little I know about my mum, and how much of her life story will always be lost. It’s made me realise just how important it is to share these stories while we still can, especially those of our grandparents.

With a background in journalism and several years of experience in corporate communications, I wanted to create something that would help others capture and hold onto their own stories while there’s still time to tell them.

I look forward to helping you tell yours.

Georgina
