Talk to your Story Director, right now

It asks about the details that make a story yours: the place, the weather, the words someone said. Your book is born from your answers.

Tell your story; it becomes your book. Your first 5 messages are free — no account, no credit card. You only create your space if you want to keep going, and nothing you shared is lost.

Your Story Director

Hi, and welcome. I'm your Story Director, an AI assistant. Over the next few minutes, I'll gather your memories — the big ones and the tiny ones — to prepare the story of the two of you. Take your time; there are no wrong answers. To start, what's your first name, and what's your partner's?

A personalized book that is actually about you

Most personalized books for adults drop your names into a story someone else wrote. Notre Livre starts from your memories. Every chapter is built from scenes you describe: where you met, the trip you still talk about, the kitchen table where everything happened.

Looking for a gift for a partner, a parent or a grandparent? Start with the love story book, the memorial and tribute book or the life story book.

What it reads like

Chapter One

The Summer We Missed the Last Train

I noticed the laugh before I noticed the man. It came from the back of the diner, a little too loud for a Tuesday, the kind of laugh that doesn't ask permission. "You're in my booth," he said, when I finally looked up from the menu I had been pretending to read. "There's no name on it." "There will be," he said, and sat down across from me as if we had agreed on it years ago. We missed the last train that night. I have told the story a hundred times since, and every time Daniel swears it was an accident. It was not. I saw him glance at the clock above the counter, and I saw him decide not to say anything. I decided the same thing.

What to expect

Honest about AI

The writing is AI-assisted. Check names, dates, relationships and sensitive passages: a smooth sentence can still contain a mistake. In all nine packages, corrections to the existing text are unlimited before your final approval. This does not include a free reprint after approval.

Realistic timing

Estimated timing: the digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete brief, whatever the package. Printed books usually ship within 7 business days of your final approval, plus transit time within the United States. Shipping is not arrival: also allow time to gather memories and to review and correct the text. These are estimates, not a guaranteed delivery date.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a Notre Livre book?

A personalized book written from your real memories: the novel of your love story, a tribute biography of someone you love, or your own memoir. It reads like a real book, with chapters, scenes and dialogue, and it is written in American English.

Is the writing done by AI?

Yes, the writing is AI-assisted and we say so clearly. Your Story Director is an AI interviewer, not a human biographer. You review the entire text and request corrections before approving it, and nothing is printed before your approval.

Do I have to pay to try it?

No. Your first 5 messages need no account and no credit card. Creating an account, completing your brief and reading your first page are free. You pay only when you start writing the full book.

How much does it cost?

The digital edition starts at $35. Printed hardcover packages start at $69 for a love story or tribute book and $119 for a memoir. Prices are in US dollars; applicable sales tax is calculated at checkout. Shipping within the United States is included.

How long does it take?

The digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete brief. Printed books usually ship within 7 business days of your final approval, plus transit. Plan ahead for a birthday, anniversary or holiday.

Can I add photos?

Yes, as many as you like, in every package. Photos are optional: you can complete and order your book without any.

Where do you ship?

Printed books ship to addresses in the United States. Digital editions (PDF and EPUB) can be downloaded anywhere.

Can I get a refund?

Each book is made to order from your memories, so once writing has started it cannot be cancelled or refunded, except as described in our Terms of Sale. Before you pay, the conversation and your first page are free so you can decide with confidence.

Who owns my book and my memories?

Your book is yours to read, keep and give. Your memories are used only to write it. You can delete your project and your account from your space at any time.

Your story deserves to be a book.
