Just enjoy having conversations with the Starter Pack, and make your book later if you'd like to; there’s no pressure, no rush, and no need to commit to everything at once.

not just another memory book, or another card game

What makes Before Now different?

Made through conversation and connection

Unlike other life history book services, Before Now books are made through conversation. No one has to sit down on their own and write or tell their stories to a blank book or screen - Before Now is a chat between loved ones, recorded.

Affordable, accessible, and enjoyable

Life history book services can cost thousands of pounds. Before Now offers an affordable, enjoyable way to preserve personal histories - made in cost-effective stages.

Keeps you in control of what you say

Spending years refining and testing Before Now means we go beyond just asking someone to think about the past. Our Guidance questions and 'Questions I am Happy to be Asked Today' sheets meet people where they are, keeping the answerer in control of what they say and think about.

We recognise that many people have experienced life events they don't want to revisit through reflection, and we have designed the Before Now starter pack to reduce any potential for emotional harm caused by reflecting on the past.

THE REVIEWS

Testimonials

  • Just amazing

    "The questions sparked conversations I'm so grateful we had. Although I knew some of his stories, there were so many that he told me over the course of the hour that I'd never have heard otherwise... and now I get to read them again and again." – Emma R.

  • Worth it

    "A beautiful way to capture Mum's memories for my children. She's getting older now and while she might not see them grow up, they will still know all her eccentricities and lessons. What a gift. " – James G.

  • Keeps on giving

    "My nan wasn't that talkative the first time we used the pack, but it's as if taking that initial interest in her life sparked something in her. Now she calls me up to tell me all sorts of things - it's really brought us closer. I'm so glad we used Before Now!" - Freddy H
