Wanted to change a few things at the end.
I had a few teething issues with the wording in my book and wanted to change things once it had gone to print. Hariny was absolutely amazing about this and managed to get it all sorted. Thank you, my experience with Story Terrace has been a really positive one. So happy to help with any query I had.

Excellent Product
Without StoryTerrace I would probably never have put pen to paper. The editor and writer were brilliant, there was plenty of opportunity to edit and to add to the narrative and to select photographs. Even the cover design was flexible. The finished product was professional. Highly recommended.

It's A Scam plain and simple
It's a scam. Please don't give your hard money and especially not upfront. It's all AI except for interviews. You can get that in apps yourself. And learn from me do not pay upfront! Of course they probably have a whole call center around the globe set up to scam. And once the interviews are done there is no direct contact with the writer. They have named several various editors..one was a made up name for sure as it was associated with the same email of another name. Without going into details I can point out all the scams in the court of law. And read the client who used a PI to investigate them

Dear Smitha,
We regret to hear that your experience with StoryTerrace has not met your expectations, and we’re sorry for any frustration caused during the process. However, we do need to clarify several inaccurate statements in this review.
For clarity, StoryTerrace works with professional human writers at every stage of the Classic book creation process (the package you have acquired). Our writers conduct in-depth interviews, develop outlines, draft manuscripts, and revise work based on client feedback. This collaborative and iterative process is clearly explained to all clients from the outset on the website and during onboarding.
StoryTerrace is also transparent that generative technology is used as a supporting tool in certain production tasks, depending on the service purchased and the specific needs of the project. These tools are expertly applied based on our experience crafting 1000s of stories, to assist the process, and they do not replace the professional writers who are responsible for the draft content shared with clients at every step of the Classic book creation process.
During your project, you raised concerns about AI usage, and we fully accommodated your request by removing generative technology from your project. As a result, your current draft was written solely by a professional writer, without the use of generative tools, which your project editor confirmed with you at the time.
We understand that you were dissatisfied with aspects of the manuscript. Revisions are a normal and expected part of our process, and we invited you to share your specific correction requests so we could amend the material accordingly. We remain available to continue making revisions to ensure the manuscript meets your expectations.
Regarding payment, our fees and payment structure are clearly outlined on our website and in our Terms & Conditions, which are designed to ensure fairness and transparency for all parties. We offer multiple payment options to accommodate our clients’ needs, including installment plans as well as full payment options.
We remain committed to delivering a high-quality, personalized book and to working constructively with every client. If you would like to continue the revision process, our team is ready to assist.
Warm Regards

Worth every penny for a true family heirloom!
I just received my printed books in the mail and it literally brought me to tears. I could not be more happy to have invested the time in this project with Tilly (project manager) and Jenny (writer) and to be able to give this wonderful gift to my grandfather and all of his grandchildren. I have no doubt this will be a proud part of our family legacy for generations to come. The team moved quickly and did a beautiful job honoring my grandfather's life story. It was a wonderful experience and if you have a story you'd like to be captured for generations' to come, I could not recommend this service more! Thank you to StoryTerrace and, most importantly, to Tilly and Jenny for the partnership!

This company is a SCAM!!!!
I paid for a book as a Christmas present for my mother in December 2023 and the book remains outstanding. Nobody replies to the emails that have been sent requesting an update, the phone number just rings and cuts off. I have now raised a dispute with my credit card company in the hope that this will get a response. I would definitely not recommend this company and would advise that you steer very clear of them and find another provider. SHAME ON YOU STORYTERRACE.

Autobiography of a working life
I was recommended to StoryTerrace as the best option for generating a self- publish book. The process from start to finished book was smoothly done. My proof reader, John, was excellent and a good advisor in tidying up my scribblings. It was also helpful that he was pleasant and encouraging. Timescales were met and the whole process was completed in 10 weeks.

An Excellent Team
I found the team at StoryTerrace to be extremely friendly, professional and efficient. They provided me with a choice of writers/editors who were very relevant to the children's story I had written . I selected one who was on the same page as I and she captured my characters perfectly .StoryTerrace also provided me with some very talented illustrators. I chose one who was perfect for my book and the result was excellent. I have been delighted with my experience with StoryTerrace , I hope to be able to work with them again.
