StoryTerrace Anmeldelser 

Back in or around late 2023 I had been inquiring about ghostwriting services through Story Terrace. I was working with a sales guy Ben. Who listened to my story idea and what I was wanting. He encouraged the premium writer package. It had 12500 words and a premium writer. I paid in a total of 3 installments. Two payments in Nov and December for $1,190 and then a lump payment of $3,570 in Jan equalling $5950. Soon after I was pushed into this, the company was sold. It has been a nightmare since. Very disorganized, the timeline for my book has been extended multiple times. After I finally got the first draft/outline it was so poorly written I couldn't believe so I had others read it without giving my opinion so not to influence theirs. They all came back saying it was so bad and hard to follow, like a kid wrote it. When I expressed this to ST they then told me that an AI wrote it. I NEVER! Would have agreed to an AI writing this. my story has trauma, rape, strong emotions that AI cannot describe! The writing the AI did of my violent rape was just so bad, It almost made me cry. Just a terrible experience overall! I have been seriously frustrated with the lack of communication and failure to make the requests and changes I have asked for. I am so disappointed in the drafts I have been given. Now to make matters worse not only are they asking for more money for something I ended up almost entirely writing myself, they seem to have lost record of my lump payment in Jan that I gave the sales rep over the phone. I want a full refund and I will write my own story. I no longer have faith in this company or whatever company bought them. This was clearly high pressure sales tactics used to get me to sign up and pay. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and they never responded so BBB closed it for lack of response from the business. I am now persuing the Attorney General and FTC. This is a scam and bait and switch!

Googled "how to get a book written & published" and Story Terrace came up. Have not been disappointed with the service I have received from start to finish. There were a couple of misunderstandings with my first interviews but these got rectified efficiently and Zoe & Alice have been extremely helpful in making my dream book become a reality.

I frequently told my family that I'd like to write about my early life - so different from my own children's and grandchildren's. Realising that I perhaps never would, they signed me up with Book Terrace.
I am so grateful that they did and that I have at last written my story before it's too late! It has been a most rewarding experience and everyone I have dealt with has been very pleasant, helpful and encouraging.
Possibly unusually, I actually wanted to write it myself, with professional guidance. I probably did not make that clear enough from the start. My first (very lovely) writer was willing but not really at ease with what I needed.
I would advise anyone wanting to use their own words to make it clear from the start before choosing a 'writer'. That is advice, in no way a criticism!

From the introductory meeting to the final publication, the whole process was straightforward and professionally supported throughout.
Due to close family bereavements, it was necessary to extend our deadline, and this was arranged with thoughtfulness and care.
All amendments were quickly dealt with and appropriate advice provided throughout.
If anyone is thinking of writing a book but not sure how to go about it, I would recommend speaking with Story Terrace and see if they can help … they certainly did with us!

I am pleased with the finished book. The editor, Martin McLauchlan, has been very helpful and supportive.

Incredible life experience. A gift for life and a huge gift for my family.

I found the experience therapeutic, my writer was the most kind and empathetic soul en the support with explanations and time management was hugely helpful(and needed!)

I would never have been able to write the story of my son’s life without the care patience and support of Beverly who transcribed and Alice the editor. I would highly recommend StoryTerrace. Can’t thank them enough for making quite an emotional journey a really good experience.

Ultimately we got an autobiography written for my father-in-law which is of great quality and will be cherished for generations. The entire process of writing such a book, especially for elderly person is not so easy (for lots of reasons). My main feedback to StoryTerrace would be to set better expectations for their clients. For example there is a limit to how well the ghost writer can edit the interviews - it needs someone with intimate knowledge of the person's life to really know how to properly edit, so in many ways it is a joint effort between between the ghost writer and the subject (or someone on the subject's behalf). However StoryTerrace are a professional company and are very polite and accepting of changes throughout the process. I would use them again.

Story Terrace is an excellent company to write your own story, the personnel are very experienced and very professional, the writer allocated to me was brilliant.

Hello to everyone,I really enjoyed doing my book,it took me deep in my memories with doing this.i want to congratulate barbara,without her.my book would have not be done the way I wanted it..she is a amazing person to work with when doing something from years ago..I've been so lucky to meet her and wish her the very best for more to come..the cover picture is lovely, but in person it don't look professional at all.im sorry about this..as the editor always replied and kept me right,what a lovely team to have..when doing something so emotional from my past.thank you very much.i appreciate it .Michelle

Correspondence between ourselves, the editor and senior writer was fluid, with guided assistance along every step of the way. The site is user friendly, and each step clearer explained.

Captivate my Story perfectlly. It was an emmotional journey going back through my tramatic childhood to this ripe old age of 74. Finding the right help for my story was not easy. Then I remembered I saw Stoyr Terrance on the BBC Dragon's Den, I then thought, what a brilliant idea to wite books for people like me who knows nothing about crafting a books?
The book writting with Story Terrace has been a wonderful experience. I didnt realize that there are so many people involved in getting a book done.

I am over the moon with my finish project. Everything about my book is just brilliant and beautifuliy writen. Now, I just have to say thanks to Storry Terrace and teams for such an amazing book, so happy I could cry.

10 out of 10 for a perfect book. Good job well done!

One happy cliant.

When ever you have an issue their stock answer is to say contact customer services but they are based in the states and always have a good excuse for not doing anything. You watch their reply will say contact customer services.

The team at StoryTerrace are amazing, really passionate about what they do and making sure you have a great experience and finished book. I enjoyed the process and the outcome, highly recommend them!

I was on the fence about having my story written by someone that wasn't me.
But on persuasion by my family, I chose to try out StoryTerrace and it turned out to be an experience we all cherished!
Going through the interviews was a nostalgic and wholesome process as my writer was very kind, understanding and fun to talk to. I had control over how my story was written and could offer my own editorial input at every stage.
The designer did a wonderful job on my cover as well. Will definitely be ordering more book copies for the rest of my family and friends!

I lost my husband last year. I wanted to write a book about his life and what a wonderful man he was. Story Terrace matched me with Stef who captured my story perfectly. Stef listened and understood my loss. Stef you are a great writer thank you. I would recommend Story Terrace to anyone who wants to write a book.
