Family memoir books in Turkey, in Turkish
Yadigâr (yadigâr.com) is a family memoir service based in Turkey. Every week it sends your mother, father or grandparent one life-story question in Turkish, by email and WhatsApp. They answer by writing or by recording their voice, and their stories, together with their photos, become a hardcover book printed and delivered in Turkey.
If you know StoryWorth
Yadigâr works in a similar way to StoryWorth: one question a week, answers collected over a year, a printed book at the end. The difference is that everything is in Turkish: more than 500 questions written for Turkish families (childhood homes, hometowns, military service, migration, religious holidays), Turkish support and a Turkish book, printed and shipped within Turkey.
Yadigâr is an independent Turkish service. It is not affiliated with StoryWorth.
How it works
- Choose a plan and tell us who will tell the stories: your parent, your grandparent or yourself.
- Every week a question in Turkish goes to them by email and WhatsApp. You can change, reorder or add questions, and choose how often and at what time they are sent.
- They answer by writing, by recording their voice in the browser, or by sending a WhatsApp voice message; voice answers are transcribed automatically. They can add photos to each story.
- When you are ready, you preview the whole book page by page, choose the cover and approve it. It is printed in Turkey as a hardcover book and shipped free within Turkey.
