Who's the book for?
A child
Ages 6 to 14. They make up the story and the characters, and we turn it into an illustrated hardback with their name on the cover. Two sizes: £25.99 or £27.99, including UK postage and packaging.
A grown-up 18+
A novel of up to 12,000 words starring anyone you like, your mum, your other half or even yourself, with them drawn on the cover from your photo. Just 10 minutes of details for a stunningly accurate book, and the more you tell us, the better it gets.
Books our customers made
Every cover here was created by a Storywizard customer.
From one photo to a hardback cover
Upload a photo of the star and we draw them into a cover made for their story. These examples were made from the example photos in the circles.
Front and back
Every grown-up book has a full wraparound cover: a scene from the story on the back, with a proper synopsis.

How we checkWhat families say
It was really easy to create and I couldn't believe the quality when it arrived. My daughter cannot put the book down — it's always by her bed.
Julie GIf you have an imaginative child who likes reading, you are going to love this. He was so excited to see his book and couldn't believe he had his name on the front.
JayeThe reaction from my daughter when she saw the mock-up of her book was just wonderful. She could spot her characters and was so excited. It has boosted her confidence enormously.
FleurUsing Storywizard for the first time was really easy and exciting. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. It felt like I had achieved something to be proud of.
Jessica BQuestions
How much is it?
Children's books: £25.99 for a Story Book (7,000 to 8,000 words) or £27.99 for a Novel (9,000 to 10,000 words). Grown-up books: £29.99 for up to 12,000 words. Every book is a hardback, and every price includes UK postage and packaging.
Do I see anything before I pay?
Yes. You see the front and back cover and a synopsis of the story for free. The full book is written once you order.
How long does delivery take?
UK postage and packaging is included in the price, and your hardback should arrive within 14 days. Tracked delivery is available at checkout.
How rude is the grown-up book?
You choose. Warm and witty is fine for your nan. Cheeky has innuendo. Properly naughty has swearing and saucy jokes, but nothing explicit. Grown-up books are for over-18s only.
Can I put real people in it?
Yes, that's the point. For a grown-up book you upload a photo of the star so we can draw them on the cover. Add names, nicknames, pets and in-jokes. We keep the jokes affectionate and never accuse anyone of anything that could hurt them.
Is it a paperback?
No. Every Storywizard book is a hardback.
