About Us
Write Your Own History™ is inspired by gamebooks and was created as an ode to the love of nostalgia and choice. We believe learning history should feel like an adventure. Our interactive book series invites young readers (and adults) to step into the shoes of legendary figures, making choices that shape the course of their stories.
Founded by author T.D. Clairmont and brought to life through vivid illustrations, our mission is to inspire curiosity, innovation, critical thinking, and a love of history in children ages 7-15. Each book blends fact and imagination, challenging readers to explore turning points in the past while reflecting on the consequences of their decisions.
We’re a growing community of parents, educators, and young adventurers who believe that history comes alive when kids are given the chance to experience it themselves. With every page, every choice, and every ending, we aim to spark imagination and show that the past isn’t something to memorize to pass a test. The past is something to explore, and now YOU get to change it!
T.D. Clairmont is the creator and author of the Write Your Own History™ series. His vision is simple yet bold: to give young readers the chance to step into the lives of legendary figures, make meaningful choices, and see how every decision can shape the course of history.
What began as a dream more than 40 years ago is now a groundbreaking children’s book that inspires curiosity, critical thinking, and empathy. Through carefully researched narratives and interactive storytelling, Clairmont transforms historical moments into immersive experiences that ensure history feels alive, relevant, and unforgettable for readers of all ages.
