An ebook gift that is actually about them.
Search for an ebook gift and you mostly find gift cards — a voucher for a book somebody else wrote. This is the other thing: a full-length book written about the person you're giving it to. Their name, their town, the holiday that went wrong in 1998. Delivered the same day as a link, a PDF and an EPUB, and you read it before they do.

What an ebook gift is, when it isn't a voucher.
A gift card says choose something yourself. A written book says I know exactly who you are — and it arrives already finished.
Transfers the decision
The recipient has to go and pick something, usually months later, and often forgets. The value is real; the thought is abstract.
Arrives finished
Ten chapters about them, from the details only you could supply. They open a link and start reading someone's version of their own life.
A real excerpt, from a book we published.
Lifted word for word from a complete novella on our shelf — not a sample written for marketing. 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 what you remember to what they open.
Four steps. You hold the pen at every one that matters.
Tell the story
Answer a short set of questions — who they are, what they're like, the memories that made them. A few minutes of your time.
The book is written
A complete, full-length book in the genre you pick, drafted from your memories in minutes rather than months.
You read it first
Nothing is sent until you have read it and said yes. Ask for changes; the memories stay private and can be deleted.
Link, PDF and EPUB
Forward one link. It opens in any browser, free to read in full, no account and no app — and it doesn't expire.
Two lengths. One payment. No subscription.
You pay once for the book. Read two chapters of a published one free before you spend anything.
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 about ebook gifts.
Is this a gift card, or an actual book?
An actual book. There is no voucher, no credit and nothing left to redeem — it is a finished, full-length book, written about the person you are giving it to, in 8,000 to 25,000 words. You read it before anyone else does.
Can I gift an ebook I haven't read yet?
Yes, and you should read it first. The book is written in minutes, so you can order it, read it end to end, ask for changes, and only then send the link. Nothing is shared before you say yes.
What format is the ebook?
Three: a private link that opens in any browser, a PDF for printing, and an EPUB for e-readers. The link never expires, so the gift keeps working years after the day.
Does the person receiving it need a Kindle or an account?
No. The link opens in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer — no app, no sign-in, no download. If they do use a Kindle, the EPUB can be sent to it with Amazon's Send to Kindle.
Can I send it on the day, at short notice?
Yes. The book is written the same day you order, so an ebook gift ordered in the morning can be in someone's inbox that evening — birthdays, anniversaries and last-minute Christmases included.
Start with the story only you can tell.
A book about your father, your wife, your oldest friend — or the version of them that belongs in a novel.
