Frequently Asked Questions
After you sign up for an account, Porch Swing Stories puts you into your first story. You can add chapter names and title numbers. Start writing. Save your work and add pictures when you are ready.
Porch Swing Stories automatically gathers your stories and creates a StorySite for you. This is where all of your stories (or chapters) are saved. You can turn each story into a chapter and print a book later if you want. You can give your StorySite a title and a picture. You can also store videos and audio recordings on your StorySite.
As you write each story (or chapter), hit Preview My Book to see what it will look like when printed. When you’re ready, hit Print My Book and confirm your list of chapters, add the title and cover pictures, and your hardcover book will be sent to you, normally within 2-4 weeks.
We recommend 6-12 stories for a book. Stories usually are around 4 pages each including pictures, so that makes a 24-48 page book.
Our Standard, Deluxe and Personal Biographer packages all come with a number of 30-minute personalized coaching sessions depending on which package you choose. These coaching sessions are the perfect time to discuss your chapter, theme and story ideas and receive guidance from a storytelling expert so that you can get the most of our your book.

loved one to encourage them to write their story. A life story is a terrible thing to waste…
