We turn your memories into magazines

THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT TO CAPTURE THE PAST

So many of us experience wonderful moments with our friends and family but don’t have the time to document them with words and photos thoroughly. Life gets in the way as you try to make plans. We are here to make the experience of telling your story to be as enjoyable and easy as possible.

WHY IT'S TIME TO TELL YOUR STORY

Life is filled with so many incredible memories. But quite often, memories and stories fade with time. Everyday, people pull out their phones and take billions of photos. Sadly, many of these images disappear after just a short while. Time For my Story is here to document your memories in both photos and words.

Whether you wish to create a memoir, detailing your life story or you want to celebrate a birthday or specific event, we are here to create a publication that will resonate for generations to come. Any significant story or moment can now be captured so that its memory will never be forgotten.

Michael Brooke and the Time-for-my-story team have been an absolute pleasure to work with!

As a publisher and writer, Michael’s work is unparalleled. If you have a story that you want to tell others about, Michael makes it happen. He works with brilliant book designers who help you create a remarkable keepsake that will be enjoyed for years to come.

I want to give Michael and Mark from Time for Your Story 10 stars. Right from my first meeting and his interview with me, the writing of my story with Michael’s help was easy, stress-free, organized, and most importantly, spirit lifting. I was able to get the story of my family’s story starting from the Holocaust through to the escape from Hungary during the 1956 uprising, to my beautiful life here in Canada. The book follows my childhood all the way to my children and grandchildren. It has pictures and stories and all! My book has been accepted wholeheartedly by all of the above and the special friends I wanted to share it with. All of this took place from beginning to end in 3,5 weeks. Consider that I’ve had this book in my head for at least five years and have never been able to put it on paper. I thank Michael for helping me to do it in the short span of time. I know my parents and my family history will live on for generations to come. I can now organize all the pieces of paper and all the odd things and just release them because I know that it’s all in that book for everyone to enjoy. Thank you!

Working with Time for My Story was straightforward and a great investment. Our Grandmother's life was documented for all of our family’s tree to recollect her life and achievements.

Thank you! Great job!

Dear Mike, thank you for enabling me to complete a meaningful life by telling my story to inspire future generations.

We know that your time is precious, so we have created a workflow that fits your schedule. We call the system “pay as you go.” No matter how big or small your story or memoir is, we book one-hour interviews at a time.

TIME FOR MY STORY - THE INTERACTIVE MAGAZINE

We have created a mini magazine that you can print at home. We’ve asked some key questions to get your mind thinking about the stories you’d like to tell. Feel free to share with others.

Not only is the "Time for My Story" booklet a special keepsake, it was also a wonderful afternoon, watching my mother and my son interact through her memories. There were many moments of laughter as he captured her responses, and I also gained new insights into her life.
Highly recommended!
