Where Stories Live...
Our Story
Who we are, Our Story, and where it all began
In a heartfelt act of love, Darrell's daughter, Julie, entrusted me with the task of capturing her father's remarkable stories. At 86, Darrell's rich life journey became a cherished project, sparking unexpected discoveries. Collaborating with increasing excitement, Darrell and I embarked on a profound adventure, illuminating his spirits as he shared cherished memories with family and friends.
Suddenly infused with purpose, Darrell radiated a newfound sense of validation, importance, and love, as his narrative unfolded. As we delved into photo albums, each page unveiled 'aah' moments, prompting requests for copies of his book. However, the path to publication proved costly and challenging. It became clear that a better solution was needed.
Teaming up with talented designers and visionaries, Remember Press was born. Together, we set out to create an accessible system for capturing and preserving stories worldwide. The result is here, offering you and your loved ones the joy of storytelling. We invite you to share in the wonderful journey that Remember Press brings to you and the world.

Tell us about you:
I've been a teacher, literacy specialist, a chef/owner of 10 successful restaurants, and more recently journalist, newspaper editor in chief, and book writing coach and support. I'm also a grandmother of two exquisite children (and I'm Gigi - gorgeous grandma) and love what I'm doing now: helping people tell their stories, raising mental health for kids, the aged, and so many more.
Describe your biz in a sentence
A publishing revolution that helps anyone write their story and publish their books to share easily and cheaply
.
Tell us how your business came to be
I was hired to write a client's dad's memoir, and the process gave Darrell a euphoric final year. I aim to make a difference to Aged Care and anyone who has a book in them.
What does your typical day look like?
Busy, but enjoyable. Challenging, and sometimes fantastic. Getting better every day.
How do you maintain your motivation?
Because I know it's going to make a huge difference to so many people, and it's a give back, legacy project. I put both parents in a nursing home and they died with all their incredible stories. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. We have the technology, the ability, to change that.
What’s one thing you know that will benefit our audience?
That writing your books and telling your (or a loved one's) stories is easy if you have someone lifting you up and supporting you all the way. Remember Press is that. The publishing revolution.
What mantra do you live by?
Life is short - and it may not be always be your decision, but it's your decision how you cope, and prosper. That's my mantra - Move onwards, and roar upwards.
What’s the last book you read that you’d recommend to a friend?
Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara - Owner of 11 Madison Park, best restaurant in the world, but best ever - EVER - business book I have read. Applies to any business, anywhere and it's gold!
Funny situation that happened through your business?
My connections and synchronicity - too many to name here, but needless to say I'm connected to Master Chef judges, George RR Martin (Game of Thrones), etc. etc. It's been a big life and a lot more to come!
Is there anything else you would like to share?
I just want to make a difference. And don't ever, discount someone based on their age - young or old. We all have a lot to contribute, in so many ways. Allow us!
