Inside the US, standard shipping is free and the book arrives in about 3–4 weeks in total. Express is $24.99 and arrives in about 10–14 days. International tracked shipping is $14.95 and takes about 3–5 weeks.
Ordering for Christmas? Order by 26 November for free standard delivery, or by 8 December with Express.
I’m not good with words. Is that a problem?
No. You finish ten short sentences like “It all began…” and “Together, we love…”, and every one has an example you can tap and change. Most people are done in about ten minutes.
Can I see it before it prints?
Yes. You flip through every page of your actual book before you pay, and what you see is exactly what we print.
Is it only for couples?
Not at all. The story is written differently for partners, parents, children, best friends, siblings and grandparents.
