Biographer is built around conversation, not homework. Boswell asks thoughtful questions, listens to your memories, and turns each session into a polished chapter you can read, edit, share, and build on.
No blank page. No writing assignment. Just a conversation that becomes a chapter.
Chat for ten minutes about a memory, a person, a chapter of your life. Boswell does the writing.
Open Biographer, choose a topic, and start speaking or typing. No forms, no questionnaires. Just a conversation.
The moment you're done, Boswell turns what you said into a polished chapter. Real prose, in your own voice.
The next conversation gets more personal, because Boswell remembers what you've already shared.
I sat down to try it for ten minutes and looked up an hour later with three chapters about my mother I'd never written down.
This is the whole thing: a short conversation on one side, a finished chapter on the other. Nothing invented. Everything yours.
It was the winter of 1976, and the snow on Chippewa Street came down sideways, the way it only does in Buffalo. I had my collar up and nowhere in particular to be.
That was when I saw Eleanor. She was laughing at something I couldn't hear, standing in the cold without a coat as if the weather were someone else's problem. So I gave her mine. She kept it a week. I like to think I never really got it back.
You typed four loose sentences. Boswell asked two questions, listened, and wrote a chapter in your voice: the diner, the snow, the coat. It's not a prompt list. It's a real conversation that leaves you with real writing.
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.
Start with any memory, moment, person, or chapter of life. Tell Boswell what's on your mind and he'll ask questions to pull more out, only if you want.
Boswell remembers names, places, themes, and the threads you left unfinished. The more you share, the better the next questions get.
“By the fifth session it knew my grandfather better than some of my cousins did. It asked about the radios. He did fix radios.”
Every chapter is yours to shape. Change it, share it, keep it, or let it go.
Tweak a word or rewrite a paragraph. The chapter is a draft, not a verdict.
Read it as "I" or as "she." Switch the whole voice with one tap.
Drop in the snapshots that belong beside the words.
Let loved ones read along, add memories, or fill in the gaps.
Your words belong to you. Take them anywhere, anytime.
Some things aren't for the book. Remove them, no questions asked.
The chapters are the foundation. From there, they can turn into something you hold, hear, or hand down.
Your life, bound in cloth and printed in gold. A genuine book for the family shelf, your name on the cover, delivered to your door.
And the very same stories keep becoming new keepsakes.
Every chapter narrated. A voice to hear on a long drive or a quiet evening.
A love story or a life, set to music. An original, written from your own words.
Your adventures, illustrated for the grandkids to grow up reading.
Every chapter on every device, so the whole family can read along, anywhere.
One conversation. A lifetime of keepsakes.
We turned a year of Sunday phone calls into a hardcover book. My kids will have his actual stories, in his own words.
Give it to a parent or grandparent. They open a card, start talking, and the family watches the chapters arrive.
Choose a plan and check out in under a minute.
A line or two of why you want their story told.
Deliver instantly, or pick the morning it should arrive.
One click on the gift card. Nothing to install.
Whatever's easier. Boswell handles the rest.
The family reads along as the story grows.
If they can use a phone or computer, they can use Biographer. They can talk instead of type, and the whole thing feels like a text conversation. Nothing to learn, nothing to set up.
About ten minutes per conversation, as often or as rarely as you like. No schedule, no homework. Most people do a session or two a week and end the year with a full biography.
Yes. Speak naturally and Boswell transcribes and listens. Perfect for anyone who'd rather tell a story out loud than write it down.
Invite whoever you'd like. Family members can read new chapters as they arrive, leave notes, and even add memories of their own.
Always. Every chapter is a draft you can rewrite, trim, or polish. Change a word or the whole voice. Nothing is final until you say so.
Your stories are yours. They stay private to you and the people you choose to invite, and you can export or delete anything at any time.
