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 no-nonsense heroine is a successful music producer whose life revolves around her job. She doesn't want to be on a reality TV show, but she's worked too hard to get to where she is to get fired for refusing. So she reluctantly agrees to coach a team of would-be singers through eight episodes of a televised singing competition, not realizing she's signing on for a whole lot more than just on-camera babysitting duty. She's even more taken aback by our hero, one of her fellow coaches - an A-list rock star nobody's heard from in two years. He's playful and fun and exactly what she doesn't need in her life. She's tried dating rock stars, and she knows better than to go there again. He's not like her ex (she has to admit), and he's scorching hot, but is she really willing to start a relationship on-camera?
When entering the heroine's first and last names, include the commonly used first name and a surname that differs from the hero's last name. If you are purchasing this book for a married couple, use the heroine's maiden name. If you can't remember your heroine's maiden name, feel free to make one up. Unusual names like Bigglesworth are fine and are actually quite funny in the story!
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. Not sure of the eye color? Many people select gray for those eye colors between hazel and blue. NOTE: We cannot add or change the descriptions that have been provided.
Our heroine's best friend is a smart, energetic woman who also doubles as her administrative assistant. She always makes herself available for girl talk, and has no qualms about encouraging the romance between our heroine and hero. She wants the heroine to be happy, and if her happiness happens to include a super-hot rock star, then who is she to stand in the way of true love?
If you can't think of a 'female friend' for the heroine, don't worry! Select a public figure or Hollywood star.

Our hero is a dashing rock star with a mischievous streak and an unquenchable need to get under the heroine's skin. He's fresh off a two year hiatus and looking to stage a comeback, which is why he signs on as one of the coaches on a highly anticipated new reality singing competition. He's optimistic and playful, and staunchly loyal when it comes to those he cares about - just ask his best friend! He thinks our heroine is a little uptight, and aims to loosen her up with his easy-going ways and effortless sense of humor.
If you can't think of a 'hero', relax! Pick a Hollywood star or public figure. Let your heroine fall in love with Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson, Christian Bale, Denzell Washington, Jon Hamm, Colin Firth, or any other hot celeb! (Unfortunately you can only pick one!) Or pick a fun character such as Al Bundy or Homer Simpson.
Choose the commonly used first name for the person you have selected. For instance, use Bob instead of Robert if he is commonly referred to as 'Bob'.

NOTE: We cannot add or change the descriptions that have been provided.
Our hero's best bud is an ambitious but fun man who recently opened his own production company. He's the one who coaxes our hero into making an epic comeback to the music business. He's smooth with the ladies, and likes to keep our hero on his toes. These two go way back, and they would do anything for each other.
If you can't think of a male friend for the hero, don't worry: select a fictional character or even a Hollywood star! Imagine the hero having Brad Pitt or Will Smith as a buddy.
