What can I personalize?

Personalization varies from book to book. Depending on the story you may be able to personalize the child's name, their appearance, a personal dedication, their pet and additional characters or family details. Some books even let us create the child's character from a photograph.

The options available for this book are shown while you create it.

Production and delivery

We print your book locally in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and other countries — helping reduce production and delivery times. Every book is made to order. Softcover books usually take about 2-4 days to produce and hardcover books about 2-6 days. These are typical times rather than guaranteed deadlines, and production can take longer over major holidays.

For our main destinations — the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand — delivery usually takes about 3-7 days after production. Production and shipping are separate stages, so please allow for both.

Gifting and returns

Send the book straight to the person receiving it by entering their address at checkout. We never include a receipt showing the price, so it arrives ready to give.

We offer a 30-day return policy. If you change your mind, you can return your book within 30 days of receiving it for a refund. If your book arrives damaged, has a production error or does not match the personalization you submitted, write to hello@startstoryhelper.com and we will make it right.

"I wanted him to hear his own name in the story, recognize himself in the illustrations and see the adventure unfolding around him. I wanted him to understand that heroes don't only live inside books and movies. He can be the hero of his own story too."

Make it truly theirs

Add their name, choose the personalization this story offers and write a dedication that waits for them on the first pages. A few little details are what turn a story into their story.

Made for their childhood. Kept for a lifetime.

Children grow quickly. Their favourite toys change and today's bedtime routines become tomorrow's memories. A personalized book can stay: their name woven into the story, a character created especially for them and your message on the very first page.

Real gifts. Real reactions.

For the best appearance throughout the book we recommend names of up to 10 characters, in latin letters. You can use a full name or the nickname they know and love. If the name is longer, contact us and we'll see what we can do.

8. Can I change my book after ordering?

Contact us as soon as you notice a mistake. There is no fixed editing window because every order enters production at a different time — the sooner you reach us, the better the chance we can still make the change.
