How it works

  1. 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.

  2. See them first, free

    We draw your people and the cover in the Modern style, or any of the other five. Not quite right? Say what to change and we redraw it.

  3. 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.

  • Who’s in itThe star first, then up to 4 of their people and a pet.
  • The age they’re turninge.g. 40
  • What they lovee.g. sea swimming, bad puns, Sunday roasts
  • A place that matters to theme.g. the beach hut in Whitstable
  • A story only your crew would knowe.g. the year the cake ended up on the dog
