How it works

From your idea to a book they’ll keep.

Five simple steps, and you’re in charge at every one. Creating and previewing is free; you only pay when you choose to keep your book.

Step by step

Five steps to your personalised book

Step 1: Tell us the idea
Choose a theme or start from a blank page. Tell us who the book is for, what happens and anything that should be in it: a favourite toy, a family pet, a place you love.
Step 2: Add your characters
Name the people in the story and describe them. You can add a photo so the illustrations look like them; the photo is only used to draw their character.
Step 3: Choose the look
Pick an illustration style, a reading level for the words and a narrator for read-aloud, and add a dedication if you like.
Step 4: Preview and edit, free
We write and illustrate your book in a few minutes. Read every page, change the words, redraw a picture, until it feels just right.
Step 5: Choose how to keep it
Download a PDF, or order a softcover, a hardback or our special edition. Printed books arrive with free tracked UK delivery.
