Turn your precious insights into knowledgeable and beautifully designed books.

We specialize in nonfiction books including biographies, memoirs, business journeys, how-to guides, travelogues, deep dives into specific domains and industries, and collections of essays, recipes, etc.

The story begins with our founder’s grandfather. He was a famous architect, who always wanted his work and stories memorialized. Tara has always shared a special bond with her grandfather, and it was through the process of noting down her late grandfather’s stories that she came to the conclusion: no story should be left behind.

People have stories that get lost if they are not recorded.

Our vision is that every moment that is of value to someone – is captured
