At Instory, we make commemorative books and magazines about news and cultural events that move people and connect communities and the world.

We give you the opportunity to put yourself in the story by contributing your own stories and images describing how you were touched by a news story, event or theme we’re working on. Each copy of each book is truly unique because each one is customized with your own words and stories.

Maybe it’s the big news story that has had everyone glued to the edge of their seats for weeks. Maybe it’s the big science fiction convention. Maybe it’s just pride in your hometown, or possibly a year that shaped your life like no other.

Whatever the story we’re working on, we’re holding space for the story you lived. Your story.

Your stories will be printed on the same high-quality paper as the rest of your book, bound in a hard- or soft-cover binding and delivered right to your door. You’ll think it came straight from the bookstore.

And when you order a customized book or magazine from Instory, we guarantee you there won’t be another just like it. Unless you order two, of course.

Then again, if your tale is extremely well told, we might just want to add it to the stories included in everybody’s book! Don’t worry … we’ll be in touch if we want to use your stuff and we’ll never use it without your explicit written permission.

We’re working on several projects right now, including books on major events in the news.
