How to use these questions

Ask one or two at a sitting, not all at once. Record the answers on your phone as a voice memo, then let BookFoundry turn the transcript into a finished keepsake book you can print or export as PDF, EPUB, or DOCX. There are no wrong answers, and the best stories come from following up with a simple 'what happened next?'
