Common Questions

Everything you need to know about how the process works.

No. Grammar cleanup is optional and focuses on typos, spelling, and readability while preserving your missionary's personality and voice.

Each weekly email is automatically captured and added as its own chapter in chronological order, so your missionary's story builds naturally from start to finish.

Yes. A parent, grandparent, or sibling can forward a missionary email to the project address. We extract the original content and add it as a chapter.

Photos attached to or embedded in emails are automatically captured and included in full color alongside that week's entry. You can adjust placement and ordering before printing.

Most families order after homecoming so the full mission is included. You can continue collecting emails and finalize when you're ready.
