The Storybook Factory alternatives

Storyworth worked for me. I'm not saying it is for everyone, but I'm over 65 and ran a company - what's that got to do with it you ask? I see other reviews with some raving about it and most saying it is sooo hard to use. They complain about it not saving stories (did they click save at the bottom - I forgot once, but it does save a draft, maybe they don't know). They complain about saving pictures. The program doesn't explain to drag and drop on the insert picture box - could be better said there where used, than in the FAQ's. I get it - if you aren't middle management or above or a prolific computer user or gamer, you might not be computer savvy. So, know your gifted persons abilities. I can't say enough about how helpful it was to put my life thoughts and history down on subjects I cared about from the 300 questions available... and you can write your own. Mine was a gift and I selected weekly questions for 6 months... then just started writing and finished with 300 pages in 3 months (the limit for colour at the lower price). You will probably only want 20-35 questions to finish with that many pages including the pictures you put in. You can have them print the book, which I did and I ordered a dozen copies. Because you own the stories and you can print to pdf at any time, I then printed out the book in pdf, made a few adjustments and then uploaded to a free e-book maker site where my book is available as a flip book also. It even has sound effects and music on several pages as applicable... siren for injuries, a few memorable songs from my youth, etc. I'm certainly glad I was asked to write my memoirs and happy to share it with my children and grandchildren... Well worth the very low price of this program compared to the interview business models out there. I would usually think on a question for a day before answering and how I would answer, research my facts and thoughts, and find pictures if applicable. How you going to do that and make a 300 page book with an hour or even 4 hours interview on tape? Think about it...
