Make a picture storybook from your idea

Tell us the idea in a sentence. We plan the story page by page, write the words, and draw full-colour pictures with your characters kept the same throughout. You read every word, change what you like and check every page before you download.

Three kinds of storybook

Story: words and pictures on every page, made to be read aloud together.
Bedtime story: a gentle story that slows down and settles toward sleep.
Wordless story: the pictures tell the story, with no words on the story pages.

How the book looks

An 8 x 10 inch picture book laid out in two-page spreads: a picture across both pages with the words in a calm part of it, or a picture facing a page of words.
A full-colour front cover and a back cover. The page count is the pages inside, from 4 to 32; covers are not counted.
Pictures are drawn in colour at high resolution, so they stay sharp in print.
Your characters are drawn first as reference pictures, and every page is checked for the right characters.

Printing and downloads

At home: each page is placed on A4 or US Letter with crop marks, so you can trim it to size.
As a paperback: a file at the exact trim size for print-on-demand services such as Amazon KDP.
As an e-book: an EPUB for Kindle.

The EPUB passes our own structure checks. It has not been checked with Kindle Previewer, so please open it there before you publish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I write my own story?

Yes. Start from your own idea, then change any words you like before the pictures are drawn.

Will the characters look the same on every page?

Each character is drawn first as a reference picture, every page is drawn from those references, and every page is checked for the right characters. Pictures can still differ a little, so look through every page before you download.

How much does a storybook cost?

You pay once per book, by length: up to 8 pages, 9 to 16 pages, or 17 to 32 pages. The pricing page shows the current prices.
