What you can add

An extra copy of the same book$59 (up to 5)

The story and the artwork already exist, so the only cost that repeats is printing and shipping. This is the line for siblings, two households, or a second grandmother.

Second book discount15%

Once your first book has shipped, the code SECONDBOOK15 applies to a completely different story.

A longer book, or a bigger cast

Books past thirty pages and casts larger than three are quoted one by one, because both the writing and the illustration grow. Tell us what you have in mind and we will come back with a price.

The most important sentence on this page

Your book is written and illustrated first, then a complete digital proof comes to you. If it is not right we revise it, and if revisions cannot fix it you walk away at no cost. So the price above is not for something unseen. It is for a book you have already read.

Questions about the price

Is shipping included?

No, shipping is separate. It depends on the destination, so you see the exact amount together with your proof. We do not currently sell or ship to the European Union or the United Kingdom.

When am I charged?

After you approve the proof. No card details are asked for before that, and there is no deposit to place an order.

Can I get a refund?

Every book is one of a kind and made to order, so the distance-selling right of withdrawal does not apply to the finished printed product. What protects you is the proof step: nothing is printed that you have not approved. If the book arrives damaged, send us a photo within 14 days of delivery and we reprint it free.

Can I order more than one copy?

Yes. An extra copy is $59, up to 5, and you pick the quantity at checkout. Same story, same artwork, only the printing repeats.

Do you sell a digital PDF?

No. We did for a while and we no longer do. The one thing we sell is the printed hardcover. Your proof still arrives digitally, but what you are buying is the book on the shelf.

The story already happened. Let's put it on paper.

Five short chapters and a few photos, we'll take it from there.
