Common questions

How personalised is it really?

Every story is written from scratch using your child's name, what they look like, where they live, who their friends are, and what they love. No two Makesake books are the same.

Do I need to upload a photo?

No photos needed. You describe what your child looks like using our character picker, and the illustrator paints them from that description.

How long does it take?

The preview story and opening illustration take about 30 to 60 seconds. Printed books are shipped within a few days via our print partner Lulu.

What sizes and formats are available?

We offer a PDF download, a printed A5 softcover, and a printed A5 hardcover. All books ship worldwide.

Can I edit the story before ordering?

Yes. If you're not happy with how a page reads, get in touch and we'll fix it before printing.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Absolutely. If you're not happy with your book, we'll make it right or refund you in full.
