Concierge family book packages

Your family story, illustrated and printed as a finished book.

A small team interviews your family, shapes the story, and produces a printed book — in English or Hebrew, as a graphic novel, illustrated memoir, storybook, or traditional photo-and-text edition.

A panel from the Shlomo Jamous family book — memories of father, the print-final version that shipped in 2026.

From the Jamous family book

Memories of father, rebuilt as a graphic-novel panel from the family's own photographs.

Four packages

Choose how much you do — and how much we do.

Every package ends with a finished book in your hands — fully custom, human-in-the-loop, your story. Choose your format during the story call: graphic novel, illustrated memoir, storybook, or traditional text + photographs. Additional copies can be ordered with any package.

Memoir ghostwriters charge $18,000–$75,000 and take 8–12 months.

Softcover. A perfect-bound paperback printed on quality digital presses — the kind of book you'd buy in a good bookshop.

Layflat hardcover. A premium photo-book binding that opens completely flat, so a two-page spread reads as one continuous image instead of being cut in half by the spine.

Archival hardcover (sewn binding). Pages folded into sections and sewn together with thread — the same way library editions and family Bibles are made. Opens flat. Designed to last a hundred years on a shelf.

How LegacyTaleCraft fits in

Between the prompt apps and the ghostwriters.

Most families want a real, concierge-led book — but not a $30,000 ghostwriter. We built LegacyTaleCraft to live in that middle: visual, custom, finished in weeks, priced for families.

What you review before print

You are never surprised by the finished book.

Before anything goes to print, your family reviews and signs off on every stage. We guide the process; your family stays in control of the story.

  1. Checkpoint 1

    Story outline

    The arc, scenes, and who the book is for.

  2. Checkpoint 2

    Character & reference sheet

    Each family member drawn from real photographs.

  3. Checkpoint 3

    First visual sample

    A first panel or page so you see the look and feel.

  4. Checkpoint 4

    Full review draft

    The complete book — panels, captions, dialogue.

  5. Checkpoint 5

    Final print proof

    The exact file going to the press.

For organizations

Senior living, schools, synagogues, memorial groups, and community archives.

Organizational engagements look different — bulk family-memoir programs, intergenerational classroom units, resident reminiscence projects, memorial cohorts, or distribution to a community of families. We scope these case-by-case and provide a written proposal.

Senior living & aged-care

Resident memoir programs, reminiscence therapy cohorts, intergenerational family-day projects, and legacy-book initiatives across a community of residents.

Schools & student documentarians

Classroom oral-history units, student-led memoir projects, intergenerational documentary cohorts. Hebrew or English curriculum support.

Synagogues, communities, memorial groups

Community-wide legacy books, fallen-soldier family pairings, yartzheit programs, kehillah projects, diaspora-Israel twinning initiatives.

Heritage trips & young-adult cohorts

Young-adult heritage programs interviewing grandparents during their trip — touchpoints throughout the itinerary and a finished family chapter as a takeaway.

Frequently asked

Pricing questions, answered.

Tap any question to expand.

Why is there no $99/year subscription tier?
Subscription apps in the memoir category are mass-market products — same weekly prompts, same templates, same finished-book layout for everyone. That works for a lot of families and it is not what we do. LegacyTaleCraft is fully customized to your family: a human team scopes your project, interviews your people, edits your script, reviews every panel with you, and stays with you on WhatsApp from first call to finished book. Human-in-the-loop on every decision. We are not the $99 tier — we are the alternative for families who want their actual story told properly.
How is this different from StoryWorth, Remento, or a memoir ghostwriter?
StoryWorth and Remento are subscription products that produce a templated book if the storyteller follows the weekly prompts. Memoir ghostwriters charge $18,000–$75,000 and take 8–12 months for a text-only manuscript. LegacyTaleCraft sits between them: concierge-led, fully custom, available as a graphic novel, illustrated memoir, storybook, or traditional text + photographs format, 6–12 weeks, $1,000–$5,400. Your family sees themselves on the page — drawn with consistency from real photographs, or laid out alongside the actual archive images.
What book formats can we choose from?
Every package supports your choice of format. Most families choose a graphic novel — sequential panels, dialogue, character consistency from real photographs. We also produce illustrated memoirs (prose-led, with key scenes illustrated and watercolor anchors throughout), storybooks (page-per-scene, generously illustrated, good for younger readers and grandchildren), and a traditional format that pairs written text with the family's actual source photographs throughout. Format choice is locked during the story call and can shape the page count and pacing.
What does "early-bird" mean — when does pricing go up?
Early-bird pricing is open right now while we onboard our first cohort of families. We will lift it once we close that cohort. We have not set a date — when we do, current early-bird families are honored at the price they booked at.
Hebrew and RTL?
Yes. LegacyTaleCraft is bilingual English / Hebrew, RTL-native. Books can be produced in either language. Bilingual editions (Hebrew page with English page) are available as an add-on.
Do you ship hardcover books internationally?
Yes. We print in Israel for IL-resident families and in the US for diaspora families, choosing whichever produces the better book and the better shipping cost for your address. Shipping cost is confirmed during the story call.
What if I want more than 25 copies?
Heirloom Edition includes 25 archival hardcover copies. Additional copies are quoted at volume pricing; the per-copy price drops the more you order. Common scenarios: 30–50 copies for a large family branch, 100+ for a community library or school distribution.
Privacy — who sees our family material?
Only the small LegacyTaleCraft team working on your project. Your photos, voice memos, interview recordings, and documents are stored in private project workspaces; they are not used to train AI models, not shared with vendors beyond the printer, and remain your property at all times.
Can a sponsor dedicate or contribute to cover a family memoir for someone who cannot afford it?
Yes — and we encourage it. We run two programs for this. Our Preserve program lets sponsors dedicate and fund a family book for families who cannot fund it on their own. Our Twinning page pairs a fallen-soldier or Holocaust-era family with a sponsoring family or community.
What is the story call?
30 minutes by phone, WhatsApp video, or Zoom. We meet the family, hear the story arc, ask a few targeted questions about scope, and confirm which package fits. No payment is taken at the call — you receive a written scope and a quote afterward and decide in your own time.
What if our project is larger or more complex than the package describes?
Signature Edition and Heirloom Edition are scoped at the story call. Larger families, unusual timelines, more interview subjects, or specialized research (Holocaust archives, military service records, multi-language translation) can be quoted separately. The listed prices are the starting points; the written quote after the story call is your final price.
We are a senior-living community, school, synagogue, or memorial organization — what does pricing look like for us?
Organizational engagements are scoped case-by-case and quoted separately from the four family packages. Common shapes: a resident-memoir program at a senior-living community, a classroom oral-history unit, a community-wide legacy book, a fallen-soldier family-pairing cohort, or a heritage-trip program interviewing grandparents. Book a story call and tell us about your community — we will send a written proposal.
