Vona Snippet

Best for:

  • A single memory
  • A short tribute or reflection

Sometimes, a single moment says it all. Vona Snippet is ideal for capturing small but meaningful slices of life—whether it’s a funny anecdote, a family ritual, or a bedtime story you always tell.

It’s quick, light, and impactful—the perfect entry point for anyone starting their storytelling journey.


Vona Flash

Best for:

  • A story with emotional weight
  • A challenge you overcame
  • A defining moment or relationship

Why choose it:
 Vona Flash is built for brevity with depth. It helps you distill a meaningful chapter of your life, whether joyful, difficult, or transformative, into a story that’s clear, heartfelt, and memorable.

It’s perfect for those who want to say something important in a few rich pages, ideal for gifts, public sharing, or legacy snapshots.


Vona Threads

Best for:

  • A theme that appears throughout your life
  • Topics like identity, creativity, or connection
  • Moments that aren’t tied to a single event

Why choose it:
 Vona Threads lets you explore a story through multiple connected moments. This format is great for stories that aren’t tied to a single event, but rather a series of turning points or a gradual evolution.

Whether it’s your journey as a parent, your relationship with a city, or the arc of a friendship, Threads brings those strands together with clarity and warmth.


Vona Chronicle

Best for:

  • A significant life chapter or transformation
  • A journey, such as career growth, healing, or parenthood
  • A story you want to tell with full context

Why choose it:
 Chronicle is your space to dive deep. This format is perfect when you want to go beyond the highlights and tell the full story—how things started, what changed you, and what it all meant.

Whether it’s a journey of love, growth, loss, or success, Chronicle helps you shape a lasting narrative with room for emotion, context, and voice.


How to Choose the Right Story Type

Before you start your story, it helps to take a moment to clarify your goals. Use the steps below to decide which format best fits your story and how you want it to be told.

 

1. Identify the Purpose of Your Story

Why are you writing this story?

  • Are you capturing a single moment or a meaningful chapter?
  • Is it about reflection, legacy, or personal growth?
  • Will it be shared with others or kept as a private keepsake?

If you’re telling one clear memory or small insight, Vona Snippet may be right. If you’re exploring something deeper, like a transformative experience, Vona Flash or Chronicle might offer the space you need.

 

2. Consider the Story’s Scope

Some stories feel complete in just a few pages. Others unfold slowly across time.

  • If you’re looking for something short and clear, try Snippet or Flash.
  • If your story includes multiple scenes, phases, or people, Threads or Chronicle may be a better match.

Choosing the right length helps keep the writing process focused and enjoyable.

 

3. Think About the Story’s Structure

How do you want to organize your story?

  • If it centers on one topic or event → Snippet or Flash
  • If it follows a theme across moments → Threads
  • If it moves through a full chapter of life → Chronicle

Each format has a different rhythm—some offer a snapshot, others let you build toward a larger message.
