Who are you making this story for?
This is where the child's story begins. The name, the age and what's going on right now together shape how the story sounds and who the main character is. The more you share, the more the child recognises themselves in it. Just a name is enough to start.
The name becomes the story's main character, so the child recognises themselves straight away.
We tune the language, the length and the suspense to the age. A story for a four-year-old reads differently than one for a nine-year-old.
Sets who the main character is in the story and in the illustrations.
The things the child enjoys, dinosaurs, football or space, come back in the story. A main character who likes the same things feels familiar straight away.
Something going on right now, a new sibling, scared of the dark, loves the dog, we weave gently into the story. Keep it light, you don't need to share anything sensitive.
You read the whole story for free first. You only order the book once you're happy with it.
