What we never do

Nothing moves without the narrator's consent in their own voice, and they or the family can withdraw it at any time
We never write anything they did not say
Another living person's private matters (an illness, a debt, marriage trouble, a court case), or an accusation against someone known, never go into the book
Our team reads the whole book before it reaches you
QR codes to hear parts of their voice are not in the book yet

Consent and privacy

The person whose life it is records the consent sentence in their own voice. If that consent is withdrawn, the work stops there.

Your voice, writing and photos are used only for this book. Once an order starts, you can remove everything from your own page (at its bottom) at any time; as a record it stays in our secure archive, which only the PretendMind team can see. Your mobile number and the tally of free previews taken on it stay with us, so the free-preview rule still holds.

How long it takes

We do not promise a date in advance. Once the work starts, your own page shows an estimate from the measured time of earlier books; where there is not enough measured time, we say nothing rather than guess.
