A story around the people you describe
You choose who the book is about, the relationships that matter and the kind of story you want. Review the character designs, manuscript and illustrated pages before ordering.
We generate the story and every illustration from what you write. Nothing about the book assumes a child — the reading age is something you choose, not something the format decided on your behalf.
Who a book can be about
A grandparent, for a birthday, about the things they did before anybody called them grandpa. A parent, from a child who cannot write yet. A dog, entirely seriously. A whole family, with everyone in it, as a record of one particular year.
Everyone in a book recurs, drawn from the same reference sheets each time — so a family book keeps the same faces on page thirty as on page three, rather than the same face with different hair.
Which is how we ended up making a Don Quixote
We wanted a demonstration nobody could mistake for a child's name dropped into a template, so we made one about a knight from 1605. Cervantes is out of copyright, the story is about nobody's family, and if the pipeline could hold a delusional old man in dented armour across twenty illustrations then it could hold your grandfather.
It is a small piece of the book rather than the whole novel — the towers on the ridge, the washbasin helmet, and the servant who can see perfectly well what they really are.
What you cannot put in one
Characters somebody else owns. Elsa, Spider-Man, Harry Potter, Bluey and the rest belong to the companies that made them and we have no licence to print them, so we refuse those requests rather than take the order.
Out-of-copyright figures are fine — Don Quixote, Alice, Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood — and so is anything you invented yourself. If you made the character up, it is yours.
