Build their story foundation
You have one guided conversation about the person, the occasion, the parts of life the book should cover and the people who can tell them. Your conversation is kept unchanged.
FROM MANY VOICES TO ONE BEAUTIFUL BOOK
You gather the people.
We carry the story.
Gathered is designed for the person who wants to give something deeply thoughtful, but does not know how to interview a family, write a biography or design a book.
Private by design · no card required to beginTHE COMPLETE JOURNEY
Nothing important is
left for you to figure out.
There are only two roles: the organizer opens the gathering and chooses when it is ready; contributors share what only they remember. Gathered handles the interviewing, writing, story structure and book design.
Share one private link
Send the link to family, friends and colleagues. Everyone contributes in their own time, from anywhere, without creating an account.
Their people simply talk
A gentle interviewer follows each person’s memories naturally. Contributors can add photographs and captions, skip anything and review before submitting.
You decide when it is complete
Your dashboard keeps every voice and photograph together. You can see who has finished, invite more people and close the gathering when the portrait feels rich enough.
We shape one coherent story
Starting and gathering are free. When you are ready, one $99 payment begins production. A human editor reads across every conversation, builds a clear narrative arc and designs the photographs into a real book—not a pile of transcripts.
Review and receive the gift
You receive a finished digital proof to approve or send one round of factual corrections. Your completed order includes one downloadable e-book and one full-color hardcover book.
