StoryStarter is changing the face of crowdfunding by becoming a destination to not only enable funding of a gift, but for users to upload stories, photos and well-wishes to make the gift creation experience interactive, personal and fun.
The StoryStarter platform is easy to use. To start a campaign, a StoryStarter first selects a Story Terrace biography gift package, creates a dedicated campaign page and invites friends and family to share stories and contribute funds. Once all the funds have been raised, StoryStarter sends a personalised welcome package that includes all of the stories, photographs and names of people that have contributed to the campaign. Next the gift recipient is matched with the perfect ghostwriter, and together they who will create a biography combining personal interviews with all the stories added by family and friends. Each memoir is an ideal thoughtful gift for occasions such as birthdays, weddings or anniversaries.
Story Terrace founder Rutger Bruining says “We are continuously looking to make our ghostwritten biographies more accessible and collaborative, StoryStarter is just the next step in our mission to make sure that in fifty years everyone can read a book about their friends, parents, grandparents and other cherished family members.”
Founded in 2014 by Rutger Bruining, the Story Terrace team is passionate about helping transform people’s stories into beautiful compact books. In an age when ‘TV personalities’ publish biographies and autobiographies at the grand old age of 23, Story Terrace is determined to inspire people from all backgrounds to celebrate their life, document their experiences and create a cultural archive of extraordinary real life stories.
Story Terrace has the largest network of biographers in the world consisting of experienced writers, journalists and authors who also write for leading national newspapers and have had books published with some of the best-known publishers such as Pan MacMillan, Penguin and Simon & Schuster.
2015 has been a year of growth for Story Terrace, who are now starting a new project every day. In addition to this the innovative memoir provider has signed brand and media partnerships with the likes of Express Newspapers, Saga and Find My Past, all of which will be starting over the next few weeks.
