A personal book, made of them.
Birthday gifts get guessed in a second — a voucher, a candle, a bottle. A book doesn't. Tell us who they are and the stories that are theirs, and we'll write a full-length novel with them at the centre of it: their quirks, their history, the jokes that only your family tells. Instant, so it still arrives on the day.
Instant & digital · you approve it first · short ~$19 · full novella ~$29
A real excerpt, from a book we published.
Not a sample written for marketing — this is lifted from a complete published novella, word for word; its first two chapters are free to read.
“A man is not measured by the wreck that broke him. He is measured by what he does when he is given another deck under his feet.”
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.
What buyers ask.
Can I send it the same day?
Yes. It's digital and instant — the book is written in minutes, so a birthday you almost forgot is still a birthday you can win. Order it, read it, approve it, forward the link; it opens straight in their browser.
What if it's not a partner — a friend, a parent, a sibling?
It works for anyone you know well enough to tell a few true stories about. The memories don't have to be romantic. For a parent or grandparent especially, a book made of the family's own stories often lands harder than anything you could buy.
How much do I need to write?
A few hundred words, in answer to a short set of prompts — who they are, what they're like, the moments that made them them. You're not writing the book; you're giving us the material. The specifics you supply are what make it unmistakably theirs.
Do I check it before they read it?
Always. You read the finished book first and approve it; your gift is only shared when you send the link. Nothing goes out on its own.
Are their memories private? Can I delete them?
They stay private and are used only to write this one book. When you're done, you can delete the memories, and the book, whenever you want.
Same engine, a different occasion.
