The Gift of a lifetime...
DON'T JUST WRITE A BOOK. MAKE SOMETHING LAST.
You have a story, an idea, or a lifetime of knowledge.
Let's turn it into a book.
You don't have to be a writer. Or need a finished manuscript.
You don't even need to know exactly what the book is yet.
You simply need something you want to say.
At Remember Press, we help you find the stories, ideas and wisdom that matter, shape them into something meaningful, and turn them into a beautiful book you'll be proud to share.
Your story. Your ideas. Your book.
Capture a year. Celebrate your people. Keep the memories.
A Yearbook is a wonderful way to capture the people, the achievements, stories and moments that make an organisation, a community, a family or business what it is.
More than photographs, it becomes a record of who was there, what happened, and what mattered. Fantastic sales, and staff training tool! What's not to love?
Every year is different. Memories more precious than gold.
You know what the new photo album is, complete with the stories?
Your - or someone's - life and its living, is important. Now let's capture the story.
We don't need to be famous to have a story worth preserving.
A childhood, family, work, adventures, challenges, people who've been loved and lessons learned all form part - important parts - of the story.
If you don't know where to begin - that's where we come in.
Your knowledge is - and can be - your greatest business asset.
Everyone needs the proof. The smart players have it.
You've spent years learning things other people would love - need - to know.
A business book captures that knowledge, establishes your authority, tells your story and gives clients, colleagues and future customers something VALUABLE to remember you by.
You bring the experience. The "Yeah, I get it!".
We help you morph that into a book.
People might lose a business card, but they won't lose your book.
YOU DON'T NEED A MANUSCRIPT
Thinking about writing a book?
You don't have to know how to write one, really.
Perhaps you've had a book in your head for years. Or maybe boxes of notes, a computer full of half-written chapters, or simply a lifetime of stories you'd love to preserve. For you, or someone else.
Or - you know you have something valuable to say, but every time you sit down to write, you don't know where to start.
That's completely normal. It's our job to find the good stuff, work out what the book is really about, and turn the ideas, stories and experience into something people will love to read.
WE ARE THE BOOK CATALYSTS.
HOW IT WORKS
FROM IDEA TO BOOK
No one - not even Hemingway, sat down and magically wrote a book. (In fact, he left an entire suitcase of his manuscripts on a train in Paris and never got them back. True story.)
So take the pressure off, as we work with what's already inside your head.
DISCOVER
We talk. We ask questions. We dig into your experience, your ideas and the stories that matter.
SHAPE
We work out what your book is truly about, who it's for, and what belongs in it.
DEVELOP
We draw out the stories, the knowledge and ideas that create a living, breathing document that is important to you. And your audience.
EDIT
We shape the writing, improve the flow, remove what isn't needed and make sure the important things have room to breathe.
FINISH
You now have a book that sounds like you, says what you want it to say, in the totally best way possible, and is something you are genuinely proud of.
You don't have to know how to write a book. You just start the conversation.
And for you - that book's important. That's what we're here for.
INTERESTED? CURIOUS? YAY!

AND WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS SAY? DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT!
Julie W
Diamond Expert, Devoted daughter
“To know that you’ve left a footprint is the best feeling in the world. Dad really found his voice, and joy in recounting his big, busy life. We were led through the journey with compassion. We have a book I adore, and our whole family treasures. Thank you."
James Elliott
Director, Kolling Medical Research Institute:
"I had an idea that I’d one day write a book about my story… Chris provided that canvas. She guided me. She coached me. She encouraged me. She shaped my story. I am forever grateful and would, without reservation, recommend working with Christine. My story (and my life) has been written, changed forever... for the better."
Martin Stark
Keynote Speaker, LinkedIn Top voice:
"Chris guided my dream of writing a book into a reality. Her coaching, encouragement, and strategic advice helped shape my book which only took two months to write. Chris proofread and edited my book in less than a week. I highly recommend working with Chris."
WHY I DO THIS
BECAUSE IT MATTERS TO ME
I learned the hard way what happens when a story isn't captured.
My father was Head of ASIO for Queensland. He spoke six languages and was the first policeman in Queensland to have a university degree.
He had lived an extraordinary life and carried stories I would have - should have - loved to hear.
But he died with so many still inside him.
And that taught me something I haven't forgotten.
Stories don't wait forever.
That's just one reason I care so much about helping people - business people and families capture their stories while they still can be told in their own voice. Don't leave your story until it's too late.
YOUR STORY DOESN'T HAVE TO END WITH THE BOOK!
Give your story a life beyond the pages.
Your Remember Press story can have its own personal QR Code, making it easy for family, friends, clients or future generations to access.
It can live on a photograph, a special plaque, a family keepsake, or even a piece of jewellery! What a gift!
Because a book on a shelf or table is wonderful, but a story that continues to be discovered?
That's something else entirely.
And a special idea for you? Put the QR Code on a ring, a bracelet, jewellery, as a wonderful gift for people to treasure. Give the gift that lasts...
PERHAPS IT'S TIME TO STOP SAYING...
"One day, I'll write that book."
You really don't need to have it all figured out. You don't have to call yourself a writer. And you certainly don't have to sit down tomorrow and bash out 50,000 words.
You just need to start the conversation. Bring your idea, your story, your notes - or simply bring the feeling that there's a book in there somewhere.
We'll see what we can discover.
