We’re Here to Help You Publish Your Autobiography Online
A professional, question-based writing service. You don’t need to be a writer — you answer honestly, and our writers turn your answers into a finished, publish-ready Autobiography.
Why this exists
Most people who want to write their life story never start — the blank page is the whole problem. So we removed it.
No blank page
You never have to figure out where to begin. We hand you specific, honest questions built to pull out real memories, not generic summaries.
Written for you, professionally
Answer whichever questions speak to you — rough notes are fine. Our writers turn your answers into properly written sections and paragraphs.
Permanent and yours
Once published on Littino, it’s a real, verified, searchable record under your name — not a post that scrolls away and disappears.
Most people who set out to write their own life story get a paragraph or two into it, decide it doesn’t sound right, rewrite the same paragraph a few times, and quietly stop. That’s not a failure of memory or of having lived an interesting life — it’s that writing prose from a blank page is its own skill, separate from having something worth saying, and most people have never had reason to practice it. Running your own notes through a generic writing tool tends to swap one problem for another: the blank page goes away, but what comes back often reads the same as everyone else’s — the same tidy structure, the same smoothed-over phrasing, small real details flattened into vaguer, more “polished” language than you’d ever actually use.
This service exists as the middle path: you still provide everything, in your own words, exactly as it happened — a working writer just does the part that turns honest answers into a finished, readable piece, the part most people get stuck on.
How it works
Four steps, from a blank page to a finished Autobiography.
Get in touch
Tell us what you’re looking for — a full Autobiography, one section, or a Biography about someone else — and we’ll send the relevant questions.
Answer honestly
No pressure to write beautifully. Half-sentences, rough notes, whatever comes naturally — the honesty is what matters.
Our writers produce the finished piece
Real section headings drawn from your actual story, flowing paragraphs, every specific detail kept intact — not smoothed into something generic.
Review, then publish
You review the draft and request any changes, then publish it as your verified Autobiography on Littino.
A question that gets a real answer
Not “tell me about your childhood.” Something specific enough that an actual memory surfaces.
“What’s a smell, sound, or taste that instantly takes you back to being a child?”Early Life
“Has there been a moment where everything you thought you knew about your life changed?”Turning Points
“If someone reads this in fifty years, what’s the one thing you want them to actually understand about who you were?”Legacy
Writing about someone else
Not every project is about the person commissioning it.
A good number of people who get in touch aren’t writing about themselves at all — they’re writing about a mother who’s no longer here to tell her own story, a father whose life exists mostly in fragments the family half-remembers, a partner or close friend who deserves more than the few minutes a eulogy allows. That’s what the Biography option is for. You get questions aimed at what you remember and noticed about them — the specific habits, the phrase they always used, how they handled a hard year — rather than a single overwhelming “tell me everything about your mother,” which is too big a question for almost anyone to answer well. The finished piece is published with you clearly credited as the author, which is what makes a Biography read as honest rather than generic: it’s someone’s mother, as remembered and told by her own child.
Who’s writing it
This is handled by working writers, not an automated pipeline. You correspond with the same person for the whole project rather than being handed between different writers partway through, which keeps tone and voice consistent — they’ll have a sense of how you talk and what you tend to underplay by the time they’re drafting. You see a full draft before anything is finalized, and revisions are part of the process, not an extra: if a section doesn’t sound like you, or a detail landed wrong, or you remember something else afterward and want it added, that gets fixed before you publish anything.
Questions people ask before getting in touch
No. Answer whatever genuinely resonates — a shorter, specific piece beats a padded, generic one.
A single section is usually turned around within a few days of receiving your answers. A full Autobiography takes longer, since it involves more material and at least one round of review.
Yes. New material can usually be worked in before the draft is finished, and can always be added during revisions afterward.
No. You review the finished draft privately, and nothing goes live on Littino until you choose to publish it.
Yes — a Biography can also be written about a business or brand, using the same question-and-answer approach, if that’s the story you want told.
What’s actually included
Every project starts with a short back-and-forth before any writing happens — not a form to fill in alone, but an actual exchange, so the questions we send match what you’re genuinely trying to write. Someone commissioning a single section about their career gets different questions from someone doing a full Autobiography spanning childhood through to now, and a Biography about a parent gets a different set again. There’s no single generic questionnaire everyone receives regardless of what they actually want written.
Once your answers come back, a writer reads through everything before drafting a word, partly to spot what the finished piece should lead with and partly to notice when two answers connect in a way you might not have flagged yourself — a childhood memory that quietly explains a much later career decision, for instance. The first draft comes with the option to request changes, not as a paid extra bolted on afterward, but as a normal part of getting to a piece that actually sounds like you rather than a stranger’s best guess at you.
You own what gets written. Once it’s finished and paid for, it’s yours to publish on Littino, keep privately, or use however you’d like — there’s no ongoing licensing arrangement or restriction on what you do with your own life story once it exists on the page.
Who this is for
People come to this service for fairly different reasons, and most of them fit into a few recognizable situations. Some are marking a milestone — a retirement, a significant birthday, the end of a long career — and want something more permanent than a card or a party to show for it. Some have been meaning to write this down for years, have started and stopped more than once, and have finally decided that the version of “eventually I’ll write it myself” isn’t actually going to happen. Others are doing it for their children or grandchildren specifically, aware that the stories they carry about their own early life will disappear with them unless somebody writes them down while there’s still someone around to ask.
And a meaningful number are writing about someone else entirely — a parent who’s already gone, whose story is scattered across half-remembered conversations and old photographs with no captions, and who deserves a proper, permanent record rather than a fading memory divided unevenly among the people who knew them. Whichever of these describes you, the process is the same: specific questions, honest answers, and a writer who turns them into something worth having published.
Getting started
There’s no form to fill in and no account to create before you can find out more. Send a short email telling us whether you’re thinking about an Autobiography, a Biography about someone else, or just one section to start with, and we’ll reply with the relevant questions and everything else you need to know to decide if this is right for you. There’s no obligation attached to asking — plenty of people get in touch just to see the question set before committing to anything.
Every person is unique. Make sure yours is written down properly.
A life left unrecorded fades. Let our writers make sure yours doesn’t.
