Feedback

I discovered Elefantia through my son. I started writing my life story with a lot of skepticism about the final result. Then, as I wrote more and more, I got carried away until I was spending several hours a day on it. The final result was something unexpected for me. My loved ones and friends discovered a side of me they had never known. I can only thank you deeply and sincerely for what you have given me.

— Gerard S.

It’s an excellent gift idea—it’s already the second one we’ve bought for our grandparents. It’s a guaranteed hit every time!

— Nathalie M.

I have always dreamed of getting my parents to talk about their lives so I could turn their story into a book. Thanks to Elefantia, that dream has come true. 

Thank you so much.

— Sylvain

I am very happy that my husband wrote this book. I am proud too, because he had wanted to tell his life story for a long time. He always told us anecdotes: at dinner, with friends, with family. And now, for once, his dream is coming true. He never had the opportunity to do it, because writing a book is not something everyone can do. Now, thanks to you, he was able to fulfill his dream.

— Léa D.

A huge congratulations on this book, its cover, and its text, which beautifully captures my father's life. My compliments to everyone and a big thank you to the entire Elefantia team for their hard work in creating this book, which brings an exceptional man back to life, and through him, our family.

— Pierre P.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Elefantia team for their compassionate, professional, and supportive guidance throughout the creation of my book. My work is the result of a heartbreaking story—that of perinatal loss. Thanks to Elefantia, I was able to put into words not only an intimate pain but also a sense of hope, and to authentically convey the immense love I hold for my children who left us too soon. Writing this book was an act of survival, remembrance, and hope. My book exists, and it now carries the voices of many mothers like me.

— Aurélie B.

My wife passed away in 2023, after nearly 35 years together. After two and a half years of mourning, I felt the need to write her story, my story, our story, in order to fight against oblivion, to honor her memory and to pass it on to the younger generation who never knew her. Convinced by this experience, I then persuaded my 92-year-old mother to write her biography.

— Xavier D.

I lost my mother when I was 36. She fell off her bike, and in fact, she took all her memories with her. My children never knew her. Elefantia comes at just the right time to allow us to pass on this living memory of the people we loved, or of ourselves, who do not want to fade into oblivion.

— Sylvie B.

Asking my mother, 85, if she would be willing to tell her story so that my daughters would have a written keepsake of their grandmother was a no-brainer. Together, we gathered her memories over several months. It was filled with moments of laughter and nostalgia, especially for my mother.

— Ms. V.

I think it's great, to leave a legacy for our children, what we've learned from life, what we want to pass on, the lessons we've learned. And for my grandchildren, I really want to leave them a living legacy.

— Marie R.

I gave Elefantia to my grandpa for his 93rd birthday. In just three afternoons, he was able to finish his autobiography, and we are delighted to have his life story forever in a book.

— Lorna

I had my grandmother's memoirs written. 

A great result, simple and very intuitive. Thank you, well done!

— Robin

I wrote a book about my father's life. Everything is intuitive and the book is super moving. I recommend it!

— Mc3540

I would like to warmly thank you and the entire team. The result is a truly beautiful piece of work, and I am delighted to have been able to create it with you. Your professionalism, attentiveness, and support were perfect from start to finish. I will be more than happy to recommend you.

— Anabela M.

I can look back on the tender years and tell my life story to leave it to my children. Putting our emotions down on paper, speaking freely about what hurts us or is close to our hearts, it's even better than a therapist.

— Fredette R.

So far, great! The questions are relevant and prompt me to recall the story and details I wouldn't have thought of! I'm having fun.

— Monique D.

I was able to write this book, which recounts my 25 years of life: my childhood, my adolescence, my journey. I hope that one day my daughter will have the opportunity to read it. It will allow her, and those who have it in their hands, to know me and to know how and with whom I grew up. I would have loved for my parents to have the opportunity to write this kind of autobiography!

— Lucie V.

A huge thank you. I was very moved by your presentation at the end of the text; you understood me perfectly. I am already completely satisfied.

— Georges F.

We wanted to express our great satisfaction, both with the book and with the impeccable service throughout the writing process. We were impressed by the speed of your responses.

Writing a book takes a lot of time, but as beginners, we are delighted with the result.

— Daniel G. and Linda L.

I’m in the home stretch with my mom’s book. I really want to thank you for your invaluable help, patience, availability, and responsiveness. You’ve been a huge help. You’re a fantastic team! Thank you, and well done.

— Jeanne A.

Elefantia is very convenient, both for writing down memories as they come back to us and for gathering already written stories and reworking them to create a fluid and harmonious narrative.

— Lurdiana G.

I had always wanted to write an autobiography, but not knowing where to start, Elefantia seemed perfect for me. And given the positive reviews, I decided to go for it.

— Marina D.

Having given birth a few months ago, I really wanted to keep a memento of my delivery. I was able to write down the story, recalling every detail and every sensation. 

Thank you for allowing me to relive the most beautiful moment of my life.

— Clarisse

Another project close to my heart come true. And I will never regret taking the plunge when I saw you on Facebook. And above all, I am happy to have done it, because every step of the way, right up to the delivery of my books, has been nothing but positive. I have nothing but praise to offer—bravo and thank you again.

— Térésa J.

I’ve had several difficult periods in my life, which I’ve gotten through more or less successfully, and writing has done me good. I realized how far I’ve come since those dark times and that I’m stronger than I used to be.

— Lucie L.

I had always wanted to write, but I didn't know where to begin telling my story. Elefantia helped me organize my writing and my life journey. Writing this book was a way for me to say stop: I am closing this chapter to try to write a new one. 

It's not easy, but it's a first step.

— Nadia G.

Really great: with the questions asked, the story writes itself. 

Thank you.

— Isabelle R.

Easy to use. I appreciate being guided with the questions and topics.

— Sophie P.

Making it accessible to everyone to pass on their past, their experience: for me, it's a successful venture. The support for creating one's autobiography is perfect, the creation is done step by step. 

I recommend it.

— Baptiste V.

I was able to write my biography and I am very happy with it. I was able to write three other books and I have printed two of them.

Honestly, it's really great.

— FAT267

Whenever I can, I keep filling out the chapters. 

It's very easy, and the results are incredible. I love it.

— François R.

Great concept, I'm 100% on board!

— Julien W.

Congratulations! 

It's very well thought out, I'm really impressed. I work in IT and I am very critical of the solutions provided by my service providers. I have rarely seen anything so effective and so accurate in bridging the gap between the need and the result. 

The more I use it, the more I marvel at it. 

A big bravo!

— Jean-Christophe C.

I tried it just to see, and I'm totally amazed! 

It's absolutely incredible.

— Flo E.

Very good service, responsive customer support. 

I've subscribed and can't wait to continue the journey.

— Aurore B.

I would like to thank Elefantia for allowing me to carry out this work.

— Geneviève M.

Simple and very well structured for starting your story, completing it, organizing it. It is a practical tool.

— Jessica R.

Great!

— Audrey M.

Responsive and imaginative tool.

The terms of the offer are attractive. 

The writing is fluid. 

Overall, the tool can be recommended.

— Francis A.

You still have questions

Here are the most common ones.

Can I order more books?

Yes, absolutely. Each additional copy costs 35 euros, with a sliding scale for large quantity orders. For example, 4 for 100 euros and 10 for 230 euros. A great way to offer memories to the whole family! The purchase of additional books is available in the Elefantia app.

Can we add photos to the book?

You can add up to 300 color photos. You place them at the beginning of each chapter of your book.
And obviously the most important one of all, a cover photo.

How long does a life story project take?

On average, our users complete their biography in 1 to 6 months. You have full access for 6 to 12 months depending on your plan, allowing you to take your time to finalize your project.

Can I write someone else's biography?

Absolutely, Elefantia allows you to write your story or tell someone else's: a parent or a friend. You can thus tell the story of a loved one or someone you admire. Write a life story or tell something important to you.

What if I want to write something other than a chronological biography?

Elefantia adapts to many storytelling projects:

  • The biography path with a preparatory interview structured around 10 questions to guide your life story.
  • The free path to let your imagination run wild: write about a trip, a memorable experience, a tale, or any other subject close to your heart.
Who owns the final text?
