NextGen Story: Custom Publishing helps families capture the stories of their loved ones in print.

My name is Mali, and I'm the founder of NextGen Story. I am a former high school teacher with a background working in university, non-profit, and philanthropic settings. I'm a family historian, facilitator, and certified Guided Autobiography instructor. I hold a B.A. (UBC), B.Ed. (SFU), and an M.A. in Adult Learning and Education (UBC).

This work began when I helped my grandmother publish her memoirs. She had typewritten stories and old albums of photos. I worked with her to type, scan, organize, edit, design, and eventually publish a family history book. She was so proud of her book, and it has meant so much to our family.

I've always dreamed that I could help other families publish their own family history books. If your loved one is alive, I'd love to talk with them about how to tell their life story. If you'd like to honour a loved one who is no longer here, it would be a privilege to work with the photos and memories you have. Either way, let's work together to create a book or map that will last for generations to come.
