You've lived a whole story. Have you ever read it?
Most people never have. Three questions, about five minutes, and you'll read the first page — in your own words. Then five short visits and we write your first chapter, free.
Jamie · your story guide
I’ll ask the questions — you type as much or as little as you like. I keep track, so you never repeat yourself.
A finished book of your life. In your own words.
The five-minute glance you can start above is the doorway. The full 7Bonds book is your life gathered across short visits with Jamie — a warm interviewer who remembers everything — then handcrafted by our editors into a designed book: real chapters, real scenes, your own phrases kept where they sing.

Three steps. None of them feel like work.
There's nothing to prepare and nothing to catch up on. Jamie meets you where you are.

Short visits, at your pace
Ten unhurried minutes at a time, over a few weeks. Just talk, out loud, or type if you'd rather. Jamie remembers every word, so there's never anything to catch up on.

The editors take over
Your story is shaped into a designed book and arrives by email about a week after your last visit.
Every memoir service fails the same two ways.
I signed up, answered two prompts, and quietly stopped. It felt like homework.
Weekly writing prompts feel like assignments — most people stop by week four. Jamie doesn't send homework; she has a conversation, and adapts to your pace.
The end result is a stack of Q&A. There's no story.
Even when the book arrives, it's fifty-two answers bound between covers. A 7Bonds book is written — chapters, scenes, your life with its shape intact.
You're the only one who can tell it.
The stories you carry — how you met, what you left behind, the kitchen you grew up in — live in one place only: with you. The people who would treasure them have heard a few, and never the rest. Ten minutes at a time is enough to write them down for good. And if it's a parent's story you're thinking of, you can gift a book too.
How gifting works →
Asked, answered.
What exactly do I get?
One finished book of your life — 40–80 pages, real chapters, in your own words. Choose how you hold it: a digital edition (PDF, $59), a printed softcover ($99), or a printed hardcover heirloom ($119). The softcover and hardcover are printed and shipped to your door.
How does it work?
In short visits, right here — about ten unhurried minutes each, whenever suits you. Jamie remembers everything between visits, never asks twice, and picks up exactly where you left off. Close the page anytime; the book keeps.
How long does it take?
It takes a couple of weeks to a month or two, depending on how often you come back and talk to Jamie — no deadline, no falling behind. When the story feels full, the editors take over and the finished book arrives by email about a week later. If you chose a printed edition, you read that digital copy first; once you tell us you're happy with it, the printed book arrives about two to three weeks later.
Is shipping included?
Yes — the softcover and hardcover prices include printing and shipping in the US. The number you see is the number you pay, nothing added at checkout.
Can we get copies for the whole family?
Yes. Once the book is printed, you can order extra copies at our cost — not retail — so every child and grandchild can hold their own. No need to decide that now.
What if I'm not happy with it?
Read the finished book first. If it isn't the most meaningful thing we've ever made you, we refund every cent — and you keep the book. The only way to lose is to never start.
What if something should stay private?
Say "keep that between us" at any moment and it stays out of the book — no questions asked. Before the writing begins, you are asked once more if anything should be left out. The book contains only what you choose to keep.
Can photographs be part of the book?
Yes — near the end, we invite you to send a few favorite photographs, and the editors place them alongside the moments they belong to.
Is it private?
Private by default. The book goes only to you, nothing is ever shared without your say, and you can ask us to delete everything at any time.
I have another question.
Write to us — a person reads and answers every note.
Ready when you are. Five minutes — I’ll show you what I mean.
Read the first page of your own life, written down.
One payment, no subscription. Shipping included, US. Extra copies for the family at cost, once it’s printed.
No sign-up. Nothing to install.

Here is what your answers already reveal about you.
Your first chapter · page one
This is the first page of your first chapter — not the whole story, just where it begins. The rest is a few short visits away, and Jamie picks up right from here.
