The book on Memoir.
The physical specification – and what it looks like.
Ferns of Ice is a sample book. Peggy is a made-up storyteller, and the photographs in her book were created or licensed for this sample. The mock-ups show real Chronicle cover designs, for made-up storytellers, on a rendered book – until we can photograph the printed editions.

Why Memoir.
- A casebound hardback – the kind of book you’d find in a bookshop, properly bound with a hard cover.
- Full-colour photos – every image as taken, on the page where it belongs in the chapter.
- Everything in Life Story included – voice sessions, custom design and the digital edition, now in print.
“The same thirteen chapters. The same guided process. Now a hardback to hold.”

How do voice sessions work?
Instead of typing answers, the storyteller speaks them aloud. Chronicle records the session and transcribes it. The chapter draft uses their actual phrasing – the laughs, the pauses, the way they actually told it. Speaking produces a more natural, less self-edited story. Voice sessions are part of every tier.
Will the printed photos look like the originals?
Yes. Memoir is full colour on 130gsm paper. Photos appear as taken, with the warmth and contrast of the original. We do not strip colour or convert to monochrome.
What is the difference from Heirloom?
The software is identical – both have voice sessions and custom design. The difference is the book: Memoir is a casebound hardback on 130gsm; Heirloom is Smyth Sewn on 150gsm, with a ribbon marker, head and tail bands and endpapers in a colour you choose, plus priority support. Both include one copy.
