The Long Table Press device: a long table with seven volumes standing on it
Long Table Press

There is a question you keep meaning to ask.

Not “how are you.” The other one.

While We’re Here is a boxed deck of 126 questions — and a 28-page guide — for recording the story of a parent or grandparent, using the phone already in your pocket.

Seven chapters. One life. No subscription, ever.

Launching on Kickstarter · 27 October 2026
