A book gift, written about them.
Most book gifts are a book someone else already wrote. This one is a book about them — their name, their street, the jokes only your family tells. Tell us the memories in your own words and a full-length book comes back, delivered the same day as a private link, a PDF or an EPUB. Read the first two chapters of a real one before you spend anything.
Instant & digital · you approve it first · short ~$19 · full novella ~$29
Five reasons to have a book written.
Same engine every time — your memories in, a finished book out. Only the occasion changes.
An ebook gift, not a gift card
A whole book delivered as a link, a PDF and an EPUB — for the reader who already has everything else.
A book about the two of you
The night you met, the flat with the bad boiler, the year everything changed — a whole novel written from the details only you two know.
A book for the couple
For the ones getting married — gift it, or stand up and read it as the speech. How they met, how they got here, what everyone saw them become.
A personal book as a birthday gift
Not another voucher. A full book with them at the centre — their quirks, their history, the running jokes — ready to send the same day.
A 70th birthday book
Not another newspaper reprint — the whole life of the person turning seventy, written from what the family knows.
A Valentine's book they can't scroll past
Flowers wilt and chocolate goes. A novel about the two of you stays on their phone and gets reread. The classic for a reason.
No occasion. Just because.
The best gifts don't wait for a date. A Tuesday, a hard week, a three-year mark only you two count. Tell us the story; we'll write the book.
From your memory to their book.
Four steps, and you hold the pen at every one that matters.
Tell the story
Answer a short set of questions — how you met, the memories that matter, the details you'd only know. A few minutes of your time.
We write the book
A full-length book is drafted from your memories, in your chosen genre, in minutes — not days.
You read it first
Nothing is shared until you've read it and said yes. Your memories stay private, and you can have them deleted.
Send it, free to read
Deliver a private link they open in any browser — no app, no account. They can read the whole thing for free.
Two lengths. No subscription.
One payment per book. Read the first two chapters free first — the books on our shelf are complete, not samples.
Short book
Full novella
Every book is digital and instant. A printed hardcover edition is coming. Pay by card at checkout, or start at /gift and we'll take it from there.
An excerpt, from a book we published.
Lifted word for word from a complete novella on our free shelf — not written for a landing page.
The chart lay warm against her chest. His hand held hers. The coastline was waiting, and the ship, patient as the dead, carried them into the slow grey morning.
Eight complete books — mystery, romance, horror, adventure, literary and comedy — the first two chapters of each free to read at the library.
Before you start.
What exactly do I get?
A complete, full-length book written from memories you supply — not a template with your names dropped in. A finished novel with a beginning, a middle and an ending, built around the person or the couple you're gifting it to.
Is it a printed book?
Not yet. Every book today is digital and instant — it opens in any browser, on any phone, with no app or account. A printed hardcover edition is coming, and we'll say so plainly here when it lands.
How fast, and how does it arrive?
In minutes. You answer a short set of questions, we write the book, you read and approve it, then you send a private link. It's never shipping, so it can never arrive late — order it on the day and it's still there.
Do I approve it before it's shared?
Yes, always. Your book waits for you to read it and say yes. The recipient only ever sees it when you send the link.
What happens to my memories?
They stay yours. They're used only to write your book — never published, never sold — and you can delete them, and the book, whenever you like.
What does it cost?
One payment per book, no subscription: a short book (8–10k words) is about $19, and a full novella (25k words, 20 chapters) is about $29. Read our free library first — the books there are complete, so you can judge the writing before you buy.
Start with the story only you can tell.
It takes a few minutes, and you read the book before anyone else does.
