Storytelling for a Legacy That Lasts

Every person I meet has lived through history that younger generations can’t imagine. My role isn’t just to record your facts — it’s to reveal what made you you, so your family can see the strength they inherited.

Personal Interview

You’ll be gently guided through your story in 1:1 sessions over Zoom. These are designed to feel like relaxed conversations, not interrogations. Every memory is revealed with care.

Thoughtful Story Structure

Your memoir is crafted into a beautifully readable narrative, with clear chapters and emotional flow. You don’t need to be a writer — we take care of everything, you just speak.

Confidential & Customisable

We take your privacy seriously. You decide what’s included, and we’ll shape it accordingly. This is your story, told your way.

Editing & Design

We professionally edit your story, preserving your voice while ensuring it’s clear, polished, and compelling. Your final memoir is designed as a keepsake book worthy of your legacy.

Audio Keepsake

Your voice matters. Optional audio version of your memoir, told in your own voice. A beautiful keepsake that lets your family hear you, in your own words, long after the final page is turned.

Hardcover Book

Your story is delivered as a stunning square coffee-table style book, printed locally on high-quality stock. Optional PDF version and extra copies available

About our Director/Writer

Ashe T. Davis

As a writer, I don’t just record events — I uncover meaning. With a background in journalism, history and creative writing, I’ve spent years helping people make sense of their lives through words.

My memoir work is quiet, carefully considered and deeply human. I honour every detail — not just what happened, but what it meant. Your story in my hands, your memoir becomes a beautifully crafted keepsake — one that outlives us.

I founded Australian Memoirs to honour the people who shaped our communities, families and futures. Whether your story is quiet or extraordinary, it deserves to be remembered. I’m here to help you tell it — beautifully. This is why families choose me.

The Stories I’ve Helped Tell

The Orchard Years

From handwritten notes and family photos to a 20,000-word memoir gifted on her 80th birthday. This story traces a lifetime of love, land and resilience.

Frank’s War & Peace

Frank’s children wanted to preserve his WWII stories. Over three interviews, we uncovered his humour, hardship and hope — bound in a beautiful hardback.

Mum’s Laugh Was Everything

Written for three sisters who didn’t want to forget the details — her recipes, quirks, garden notes and Sunday traditions. This one was handwritten, then edited into a timeless keepsake.

Only the River Knows

A poetic life story told through the lens of landscape, loss and quiet strength. Designed with archival photos and a soft linen cover.

Letters to the Next Generation

A grandfather’s reflections to his grandchildren — turned into a memoir that now sits in five homes and one school library.

Grace in Her Steps: The Dance of Her Life

A memoir of my mother’s life — orphaned young, she danced through heartbreak, reinvention and grace, leaving beauty in every step.

Under the Wing: A Grandfather’s RAAF Story

A mechanic’s letter from the RAAF became the heart of this memoir — a quiet story of service, machinery and legacy passed down with grease-stained hands.

Yours, Next

Each story is unique. Let’s preserve yours while it can still be told — truthfully, beautifully, forever.

How We Capture Your Story

From Memory to Memoir—Our Gentle Process to Write Your Memoir For You

Every Australian story is unique, but they all share something precious—the memories that shaped a life and helped build our nation. Our process honours both the storyteller and their story. We understand that sharing a lifetime takes trust, patience, and respect. That’s why we never rush. We come to you, whether that’s your kitchen table, your favourite armchair, or even beside a hospital bed.

We know that the most important stories often emerge slowly, between cups of tea and comfortable silences. Your memories deserve more than a quick interview—they deserve the time and care it takes to capture not just what happened, but how it felt, what it meant, and why it matters to the generations who will hold this book long after you’re gone.

Listen—we sit with you (or your loved one) and listen. Really listen.
Write—We craft your stories with the care they deserve.
Gather—We collect your photographs, documents, and precious mementos to weave into your story.
Create—We deliver a beautiful hardcover heirloom for your family.

“I don’t just write memoirs – I fall in love with every Australian story. I see the people. I see their unique perspective, their values, their character.. I see who they are through their own eyes and who their family sees – the parent, partner, and grandparent whose love shaped generations. I don’t just record what happened – I capture who they are. Their unique perspective, their reasons for every choice, their living legacy. These aren’t just stories – they’re testaments to the human spirit.” Ashe Davis
