Frequently asked questions

உங்கள் கேள்விகளுக்கு பதில்கள்.

Everything families and authors usually ask us before starting their book. Not answered here? Ask us on WhatsApp; we reply within 2 hours.

In the age of Instagram and reels, are printed books still worth it?
More than ever. A reel is watched once and gone; a feed is forgotten by evening. A book is the opposite: slow, permanent, and held. Nobody frames a WhatsApp forward or hands down a Story to their grandchildren. Digital memories depend on a working phone, a live account and a company that may not exist in twenty years; a printed book depends on nothing. The Instagram era is exactly why a real book matters: it is the one thing in your life that won't scroll away.
I'm not a writer. I don't have the time or the words. Can you still make my book?
Yes, that's who most of our customers are. You don't need to write anything. Share an idea, a few voice notes, some photos, or just talk to us, and our writers and editors do the rest. With our All-by-us track, you simply tell your story; we shape it into a finished book.
My parent is elderly and can't write. Can you interview them?
Yes. For memoirs we offer an interview service, in person or over the phone, where we sit with the person, draw out their story, and turn the recording into a written book. It's often the most treasured thing a family does together.
What do you need from me to start?
Very little. Your name, a way to reach you, and a sense of the book you want. From there we guide you step by step: what photos help, what to talk about, what to send. You're never left staring at a blank page.
Which languages do you work in?
Tamil and English natively, and other Indian languages on request. We can also make a bilingual edition, Tamil and English side by side, which families with children abroad especially love.
How much does a book cost?
It depends on the book and how much you want us to do. Simple keepsakes such as birthday books start small; full memoirs, family histories and wedding books are priced for the craft and copies involved. Tell us what you have in mind on WhatsApp and we'll give you a clear price with no obligation, along with our current offers and discounts.
How long does it take?
A simple do-it-yourself keepsake can be ready in days. A guided book usually takes two to four weeks, and a full done-by-us memoir or wedding book four to eight weeks, depending on interviews and material. Need it for a specific date? Tell us; we plan backwards from your event.
Can I see a sample before I commit?
Yes. Ask us on WhatsApp and we'll show you finished sample books so you can see and feel the quality before you decide.
Who owns the book, my story and my photos? Is my data safe?
You do, completely. You keep the copyright to your words, your story and your images. We store your material securely, use it only to make your book, and never share it with anyone. Privacy is one of the main reasons families trust us with their most personal memories. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.
Can I order copies for the whole family? Can relatives order more later?
Absolutely. Most families order one copy for every household, and many come back for more after the first reveal. We keep your book ready to reprint, so extra copies are easy at any time.
What if I don't like the first draft?
You'll review a proof and can ask for changes; revisions are built into every track. Nothing is printed until you've seen it and said yes.
Do you print and deliver, or only design?
We do everything: writing, editing, design, printing, binding and delivery to your door, anywhere in India. Delivery abroad can be arranged for families overseas.
Is the book written by AI?
We use technology to work faster and keep costs fair, but every book is written, edited and signed off by real, experienced people. The craft, the judgement and the final word are always human; that's the whole point of us.
Can I make a book as a gift or a surprise for someone else?
Yes, our Gift a Book option is made for exactly this. You arrange it, we work with your loved one (or with your material) to create their book, and you give them something they'll keep for life. We can even work in complete secrecy for a surprise reveal at a birthday, retirement, or anniversary function.
Do you handle corporate orders, CSR programmes, and school donations?
Yes. We produce corporate gift books, annual reports, house magazines, and company history books at volume and loyalty rates, and we run complete CSR book programmes: branded books produced or procured on your behalf and distributed to schools, colleges, and communities, with proof of delivery for your records. See Corporate and CSR & School Giving.
