Make an online leaving book for a colleague starting a new job, moving away or taking a different path. Gather farewell messages and photos from the team, even across time zones, then share a digital book and printable PDF.
Tell colleagues who the book is for, when messages close and who will review them. Share the contribution link so they can add a message without registering.
02
Make space for remote teammates
Include the date, time and time zone in your invitation. Colleagues who can’t make the farewell call can still add their words to the book.
03
Check the book before you give it
Review the messages, check names and photo captions, then arrange the contributions. Generate a version and open the PDF to check the finished pages.
WRITING PROMPTS FOR YOUR TEAM
What will you remember about working together?
A shared project, a kind welcome or a joke you still laugh about can be enough. Write it as you would say it to them.
What will you miss about working with them?
Which shared project or small victory comes to mind first?
What did they do that made you feel welcome?
What is one honest wish you have for their next chapter?

START WITH A SIMPLE INVITATION
A farewell book invitation you can adapt
Add your colleague’s name, the deadline, time zone and contribution link. Say whether it’s a surprise, then send the invitation yourself.
We’re making a farewell book for Jamie and would love to include your words. Add a short memory or thank-you by [date and time zone] using the private link below. Photos are welcome but optional. The organizer will review the contributions before sharing the finished book.
Questions about your farewell book
Can our remote team make one book together?
Yes. Share the contribution link with colleagues wherever they work. The form shows the project deadline and time zone; contributors do not need an account.
Will contributors see each other’s messages?
The contribution form does not show other people’s submissions. The organizer reviews the messages and decides what to include. A separate reading link gives access to a finished version.
Can someone fix their message after submitting?
Yes. They can use the private edit link shown after submitting while contributions are open, before the deadline and while the book is still editable. Anyone with that link can edit the contribution.
How much does the finished book cost?
A free draft lasts 30 days. Unlock one book for USD 19, paid once, with up to 50 contributors, 80 pages and 90 days of editing from the first confirmed payment. Contributors do not pay.
Is the online book available forever?
No. Paid books include 90 days of editing and a further seven days to download finished files. Save the final PDF while downloads are available so you can keep your own copy.
