Every contribution arrives already arranged on its own page. Then you step in only where you want to: swap a layout, feature a favorite photo, change a font, move a page. You don't need to be a designer, and you never start from a blank page.
Free to set up. You pay only when you decide to print.
Open the overview to see the entire book at once, spread by spread. Drag a page to a new spot, and use Undo whenever you change your mind.
Click a page and the layouts that suit it appear on the left, from a single large photo to several smaller ones beside the story. Click one and the page rearranges.
The Submissions tab lists everyone who added to your book, with their words and photos and the page they landed on. New contributions never rearrange what you've already done.
Choose the heading and body fonts, an accent color and a heading color from shades that print cleanly. Then decide where each contributor's name appears. The whole book updates together, so it feels like one book and not a pile of pages.
The first time you open the editor, a short walkthrough points out each control. Replay it any time from the Tour button.
Flip through every page as it will print before you decide to order.
Download your book as a PDF whenever you like, whether or not you ever print it.
When the book is finished, one click closes new submissions and lets everyone who followed or contributed know they can order their own copy.
Family recipe books get a contents page grouped by category and page numbers on every recipe. Contributors can even snap a photo of a recipe card to fill in the form.
A built-in FAQ answers common questions, and you can message our team right from the editor.
Look over every page, make your changes, and download the PDF. When it looks right, order your hardcover. Your book is printed in about 4 days and then on its way to you.
Setting up takes a couple of minutes, and it's free until you print. Invite everyone, and the pages will be waiting.
