I ask the right questions, listen to your stories, and turn our conversations into something you want to share with your loved ones. Just talk and I will do the rest. I'm a biographer made for people worth remembering, like you.
A real conversation. A real chapter. No forms, no homework, no awkward prompts. Watch what happens when ten minutes of conversation becomes something worth keeping.
The Pontiac didn't have air conditioning, and by the time James crossed into Erie County the back of his shirt was soaked through. He had rehearsed the handshake somewhere outside Erie — firm, but not too firm — and he was rehearsing it again as he pulled into the staff lot at Buffalo General on a Saturday in July of 1976, two days early and entirely unexpected.
Nobody at the front desk had been told he was coming. He stood there with a duffel bag and a copy of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, trying to look like a doctor and not a sweating twenty-six-year-old who had just driven four hundred miles. The woman behind the desk — small, dark-haired, a wedding band on the wrong hand for reasons he wouldn't learn for another year — took one look at him and laughed, not unkindly. Her name was Eleanor. She told him to sit down. She brought him water in a paper cup.
He did not know, in that moment, that he was looking at his wife. He knew only that the cup was cold, that the lobby was quiet, and that for the first time since leaving New Haven he could feel his shoulders come down from around his ears.
Chat for ten minutes about a memory, a person, a chapter of your life. Boswell turns it into a beautifully written piece you can share, save, or build on.
Open Biographer, pick a topic interview, and start. Speak or type — whatever feels easier. No forms. No questionnaires. Just a conversation.
The moment you're done, Boswell turns what you said into a finished chapter. Real prose. Real voice. The kind of writing you'd expect from a memoir.
The next session is already waiting — and it's personalized to what you just shared. Your story builds, conversation by conversation.
Some days you want a prompt. Some days you have a story you need to get down. Boswell does both — and gets better at both the more you use it.
Choose from 100+ interview topics across eight chapters of life. Boswell asks the right questions, follows the thread, and pulls out the moments that matter.
Some stories don't fit a topic. Tell Boswell anything that's on your mind — a memory, a moment, something you don't want to forget. He'll ask questions to pull more out, only if you want.
From childhood mischief to the wisdom you'd pass on. Skip what doesn't interest you. Linger on what does. Your story, your shape — eight chapters of life, only the topics you want.
Eight chapters. From Early Years to your Career and Wisdom & Legacy — only the topics you want.
No spelling. No grammar. No "is this good enough?" Talk like you'd talk to a friend at the kitchen table — Boswell turns it into beautiful prose.
Use your voice when it's easier. Type when it's quieter. Switch mid-sentence if you want — Boswell handles both seamlessly.
Tangents, half-finished thoughts, "wait, where was I?" — all of it is fine. Boswell finds the through-line and turns it into prose worth reading.
The more you share, the better Boswell gets at asking. Every session is more personal than the last — and over time, he starts noticing what matters to you.
Boswell notices what keeps coming up — and surfaces the stories you seem to keep returning to.
First or third person. Edit anything. Add photos. Invite the people who were there to chime in. Boswell writes the first draft — you and your people make it true.
Pick how your chapters read — and switch anytime. Same story, different voice.
Drop in pictures from any chapter — the porch, the wedding, the summer of '74.
Rewrite a sentence, fix a name, add the part you forgot to mention. It's still your book.
Friends and family can chime in with their version of the same story. The book gets richer.
Your stories become whatever feels right — keepsakes for you, gifts for the people you love, surprises for the grandkids.
A real, beautifully bound biography you can hold, gift, and pass down.
Your story, narrated. Listen on a walk. Send it to family abroad.
A custom song from a memory.
Pick a moment from your life and turn it into a story for a kid in your life.
Your full biography, in your pocket and theirs.
New formats added over time. Once your story's in Boswell, it can become almost anything.
The stories your parents tell at the dinner table — the move across the country, the year everything almost fell apart, how they met, how they got through — deserve to be more than memories that fade.
Gift Biographer, and they'll capture the life they've actually lived. In their own words. On their own time. Ten minutes at a time. And at the end of every conversation, they'll have a finished chapter to share with you.
Three days free on every individual plan. Cancel anytime. Your stories are yours forever.
Children's books, custom songs, and extra copies available à la carte during or after any subscription.
Ten minutes per conversation, as often or as rarely as you like. There's no schedule, no homework, no pressure. Most people do a session or two a week and end the year with a full biography.
If they can use a computer, they can use Biographer. They can talk instead of type, and the interface is designed to feel like a text conversation — nothing to learn, nothing to set up.
A growing library of beautifully written chapters, accessible anytime. From there, they (or you) can turn the chapters into a printed book, audiobook, children's book, song, or ebook — either included in your subscription package or added à la carte whenever it feels right.
Those products send weekly prompts and produce a single book at the end of the year. Boswell is a real, ongoing conversation — you get a finished chapter after every session, the conversations and prompts get more personal as you go, and your stories can become books, audiobooks, children's books, songs, and more. A book is just the beginning.
