Our Story

Raconteur

Raconteur was born out of the desire to preserve parents' and grandparents’ life stories. Co-founder Olivia Spallino Savoie documented her grandmothers’ memories. After seeing what the keepsake memoirs meant to her own family, she began writing life story books for families everywhere.

The saddest sentence I know is ‘I wish I had asked my mother about that.’

~ WILLIAM ZINSSER

    "The end result was much more than I expected. You melded and blended my rambling memories into a cohesive train of connected events that a reader can follow and produced something I am happy to leave to my family."

  • Testimonials

    "Because we've [my wife and I] had such a varied background and been to so many places, a lot of them before the children were born, I thought it would be nice if it [our life story] was in writing. I had always thought that I would do it. But I could not have imagined anything that I would do would turn out to be something like this [book]. She [Olivia Savoie] has just done a marvelous job... I got the distinct feeling when I was reading it that I was talking. She had a knack to put me right in the middle of this. I think when my kids read this, this is going to be Dad talking."
