Special memory
I ordered a fiction book to my mom and she was blown away from the idea and creative writing! It's such a special gift, love that.
Brilliant gift idea
The book creation process was very simple and straight forward, shipping time were as promised and the book itself exceeded mine and my wife's expectations! She loved this birthday gift and she is showing it to everyone since she got it two weeks ago.
Excellent customer service and book!
The book arrived and I saw a misprint of my son's name. I contacted Be The Book and Mike quickly responded that in my answers to the question I misspelled it, but would print another copy and send to me right away at no cost. Such a nice person and great customer service.

Personalized book FAQs
Everything you need to know before creating your book.
How does Be The Book work?
Choose a funny novel, a heartfelt tribute book or a comic book, answer a few questions about the person, and upload their photo. Our AI writes an original story around their name, personality, and real-life details. Pick the idea you like, preview it, choose the binding, and place your order.
Can I make a personalized comic book of someone?
Yes. Answer a few questions about them and upload their photo, and we make a custom comic book where they are the hero, drawn on the cover and on every page. You see the cover and the first page before you pay. Choose 20 pages or 32 pages. It makes a fun comic book gift for a husband, boyfriend, dad, kid or best friend, and we print and ship it to your door.
Do you make personalized books for adults, not just kids?
Yes. Our novels and tribute books are written for grown-ups: a full 240-page book, not a short illustrated kids' storybook. The comic book works for any age, kids included.
Is the book written by AI?
Yes. Our AI writes a new story from your answers, built around the person's name, personality, and real-life details. It is not a fixed template with their name dropped in, so every book is one of a kind.
Can I see the book before I pay?
Yes. Before you pay, you see the book's title, its front and back cover with their photo, and a preview of the table of contents.
How long does it take to get the book?
After you place your order, the printed book typically arrives in 7 to 14 business days with standard shipping, which is free. Faster shipping is available at checkout.
What is the size of the book?
Novels and tribute books are 6 × 9 inches, the standard size for a novel, and 240 pages long, in paperback or hardcover. Comic books are 6.625 × 10.25 inches, the standard comic book size, in full color: 20 pages (Standard) or 32 pages (Deluxe).
Is there customer support if I need help?
Yes. Email us at hi@bethebook.co and we'll help with anything about your book or your order.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not happy with your book, email hi@bethebook.co with your order number within 30 days of receiving it to start a return.
