For an extra $9.95, you can make your personalized Book By You® novel even more special by adding a photograph to the back cover! For a limited time - this photo option is FREE for eBooks. Note that for eBooks, the photo is displayed on the second page after the cover image.
Imagine the recipient's reaction to being the star of an exciting novel ... and having his or her very own image highlighted on the professionally-bound novel's back cover page! This remarkable and utterly unique keepsake will be enjoyed and treasured forever.
All you have to do is select the personalized book you wish to purchase and fill in the questionnaire, choosing the "add a custom photograph" option. Custom photographs can be placed on both our paperback or hardcover editions. Once you submit the questionnaire, you can then pick a photograph and upload it using our easy to use form.
An additional fee of only $9.95 will be added to your final total; no extra processing time is required. Best of all, when the book arrives your customized novel's back cover will beautifully display the image of the real star of the adventure -- whether it's you, your loved one or a friend!
We personalize our paperback front covers and the first pages of our hard covers, and they look absolutely stunning! Just think of your personalized novel on the bookshelf or coffee table with your heroine and/or hero's name highlighted in big bold letters. Additionally, if you choose to have a photo added to the back cover for paperbacks and hardcover editions, the names selected will also be included on the back cover. With eBook editions the names will appear under the photo displayed on the second page of the book.
Of the choices in the drop-down menu (e.g. Heroine and Hero's first names, Heroine's first and last names, etc.), most people select the Heroine and Hero's first names.
Note: all names will be taken from the top sections of the Character Questionnaire (for example, the Heroine's first and last names).
Our heroine is a highly respected member of the Superhero Guild, dedicated to serving mankind with her talent of being able to communicate in all languages. She receives many proposals from low-ranking superheroes who would like to use her exalted Guild status to further their own careers. She is therefore suspicious of all romantic gestures and buries herself in her work. The biggest surprise of her life comes when she finds herself falling in love with a reluctant superhero who has been pushed into the Superhero Guild by his mother.
When entering the character's name, include the commonly used version - for example, Nan for Nancy. Feel free to use a nickname. If you can't think of a heroine, relax! Pick a movie or TV superhero star such as Halle Berry, Morena Baccarin, Jennifer Lawrence or Lynda Carter.
Descriptions of hair color, length and type are included within the storyline of the book - so select the basic description that best suits the person you've picked to be the heroine. If you are not sure of a feature, don't worry... pick one - it's a fantasy!
The heroine's friend is a young faun. She is the result of a mating between her satyr father and her mother, an inebriated human teenager at a late-night rave party on the banks of the Russian River. She is generally a self-centered drama queen but she does have the heroine's best interests at heart.
Suggestions for the "friend's" character would be a close friend or neighbor, a sister, a cousin, classmate, or even a TV character! If you can't think of a name for the 'friend' character in the book (or there are too many to select from) relax - choose a favorite cartoon, movie or television character or make one up.
Choose the commonly used first name for the person you have selected. For instance - if she is usually addressed as 'Beth' use that instead of Elizabeth.
Descriptions of the friend's hair and eye color aren't used often within the story, so don't worry if you can't remember or don't know. Sometimes it's fun to make it up - for added fun include 'spiky red hair'!
Our hero is honorable, honest and not arrogant at all despite his physical prowess. He does allow his mother to push for his career advancement in the Superhero Guild, and despite his desire to avoid her, he does try to be a good son. He is usually humble and reserved, but his playfulness and great sense of humor are brought out by the heroine during their encounters.
When entering the character's name, include the commonly used version - for example, Mike for Michael. Feel free to use a nickname. If you can't think of a hero, relax! Pick a movie or TV star like Robert Downey Jr., Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson or George Clooney. What about superhero actors Christian Bale, Tobey Maguire, Hugh Jackman, Ben Affleck or Christopher Reeve.
Descriptions of hair color, length and type as well as eye color are included within the text of the book - so select the basic description that best suits the person you have picked to be the main character. If you are not sure of a feature, don't worry... pick one - it's a fantasy!
The hero's male best friend had superhero parents but is not at all concerned that he did not inherit any superskills himself. He has a nice apartment in the city where the hero spends most of his time, (except for when he goes home to get clean laundry from his mother).
Suggestions for the "friend's" character would be a close friend or neighbor, a brother, a cousin, classmate, or even a TV character! If you can't think of a name for the 'friend' character in the book (or there are too many to select from) relax, choose a favorite cartoon, movie or television character or make one up.
Choose the commonly used first name for the person you have selected. For instance - if he is usually addressed as 'Bob' use that instead of Robert.
Descriptions of the friend's hair and eye color aren't used often within the story, so don't worry if you can't remember or don't know.
