Bookform empowers personal printing.
Bookform empowers anyone to create a printready digital book, and is a business tool for professional writers to run local writing workshops for a commission.
“Enabling everyone to easily share the stories and knowledge of their life is vital for building family relationships, community, and a country’s cultural identity,” says founder Carey Furze, a published author and passionate raconteur.
“No longer does a book need to be a commercially viable product, everyone should be able to collate the stories of their life, or ancestry, or specialised knowledge, easily and affordably, and share or print that for family, friends or the community at large.
“This will change how we source our content for all media, news, documentaries, and entertainment. How often are you surprised by the life experience or achievements of a loved one or someone in your neighbourhood? We need to save these amazing stories, not only to preserve culture or build empathy within communities, but as a historical record, before it disappears forever,” she added.
Bookform is a cloud-based subscription model, with free access for thirty days to four templates: Memoir, Travel experience, Health journey and Collaboration, to guide a person in creating one, or many, books.
The collaborative functionality allows up to 200 people to contribute to a person’s book, ideal for anthologies on ethnic or minority groups, family stories from far and wide, or business collaboration. All contributions can be edited or deleted, and the order of appearance in the book controlled.
Creating a book is as easy as filling in a form, with all the text (in any language) and photos collated into a digital print-ready book, with front cover, contents, sections, and chapters, ready to share online or bind into a timeless legacy product, to be enjoyed for many generations.
The Bookform team are based in Australia and comprise; Carey Furze, a published author with a communications degree, and the technical developers are Shaun Symm, a digital design, marketing and business guru, plus, David Pretty, a nuclear physicist and IT genius, making the dream a reality.
