A Proseify book

A book about a friend.

The friend who has been there through all of it — the years, the running jokes, the week you would both rather forget and both still retell. For a birthday, a milestone, or for no reason at all, give them a full book with them at its centre.

This is the quality

A real excerpt, from a book we published.

Not a sample written for a landing page — this is lifted from a complete published book, word for word; its first two chapters are free to read.

“No,” Draven said. “I want you on the line to shore. Cale stays on soundings. If the tide lifts her while we are hauling, I need someone at the lead who will not lie.”

How it works

Order it. We write it. You approve it. You share it.

Four steps, and the third is the one that matters. Nothing is ever shared until you have read the whole book and said yes.

01 · ORDER

Tell us the story

Answer a short set of questions with the memories and facts only you can give — the people, the places, the moments, the specific detail. A few minutes of your time.

02 · WE WRITE

We write the book

A complete book is drafted from exactly what you gave us — a short book of 8,000–10,000 words, or a full novella of 25,000 words across 20 chapters. Ready in minutes, not weeks.

03 · YOU APPROVE

You read it first

Nothing is shared until you have read the finished book and said yes. Your memories stay yours, and you can have them deleted.

04 · SHARE

Send it by a private link

Deliver a link they open in any browser — no app, no account. You set an access code; only the people you choose can read. They can also download the PDF or EPUB.

Questions

What buyers ask.

Is this for a milestone, or can it just be a Tuesday?

Both. A big birthday, a leaving do, a long friendship marked after thirty years, or a plain Tuesday when they need it. There is no occasion required — see the just-because page if you want permission to skip the date.

I don't know their whole life. Is that a problem?

No. A book about a friendship is built from the memories you share, not a full biography — the times you were both there, the places, the in-jokes. That is the material, and it is plenty.

Can it be funny?

Yes. Tell us the running jokes and the embarrassing stories you are allowed to use, and the book's tone follows the friendship. Warm and funny is a perfectly good shape for it.

How fast can I give it?

It is instant and digital. In minutes you have a private link to send them; they open it in any browser. Order it on the day and it still arrives on time.

Will they know it is from me?

Only if you tell them. You choose the message and the access code; nothing goes to them until you send the link.

Start with the story only you can tell.

It takes a few minutes, and you read the book before anyone else does.
