How it works
-
Tell us who’s in it
Names, ages and a photo of each person, or a few choices about how they look. About five minutes, saved as you go.
-
See them first, free
We draw your people and the cover in the Clear line style, or any of the other five. Not quite right? Say what to change and we redraw it.
-
Approve, then we print
You read the whole book on your phone before it goes to print. It arrives at your door in 5 to 10 working days.
What you tell us
The more you give, the more it sounds like you. Everything is optional except the names.

- The themeAdventure at sea, Space mission, Fairy tale, Mystery to solve, Sporting glory, Time travel, A new job or retirement, A new baby, or something else.

- Things that must be in ite.g. the blue boat called Molly, Leo’s lucky cap
