A few things about your crew

The names everyone knows them by.

A favourite place.
An old family joke.
The dog, of course.

That’s where the story begins.
01 · Make it personal

It’s the little things that make them them.

Choose your occasion and tell us who belongs in the story. Upload a photo of each person, or describe their skin tone, hair, eyes, glasses and more. You can mix both in the same book.

Add the familiar places, traditions and memories. Choose your illustration style, the reader’s age and the tone. Finish with a dedication in your own words.

About five minutes to get started. Your draft saves as you go.

02 · Before you order

There they are.
Your favourite people.

We draw your characters in the style you choose. The character portraits are free, so you can see how your crew will look before you pay.

Someone’s hair not quite right? Glasses missing? Tell us what to change and we redraw them. You order when you’re happy with your characters.

03 · After you order

Read the whole story.
Then make it real.

After ordering, you receive a proof of every page. Check names, spelling, faces and all the details. If a page isn’t right, ask for a change and we redraw it before printing.

When you approve, we print your book on thick paper close to you in the UK or USA, pack it in a rigid mailer and send it with tracking. Delivery is normally 5–10 working days, depending on the country.

Please reply to your proof within 12 hours. If we don’t hear back, it is approved automatically to protect your delivery date. Need more time? Just ask us before then.

Behind the pages

A little technology.
A lot of care.

Your story is written for your people from what you tell us: their names, the way you talk about them, the places and jokes that belong to you. The pictures are made with AI in the style you choose, from your photos or descriptions. A person here checks every page for faces, names and hands before you see it.
