A comedy novel, not a roast
Every family has one person whose habits deserve a book. A personalized comedy novel gives them one. You answer questions about them: the thing they say every time, the plan they never finish, the hill they will die on, and the story is written with those details as the running jokes.
This is a comedy novel, not a roast. It is affectionate, it has a plot, and it is 220 or more pages long. The main character is the person you are giving it to, and they come out of it looking like the hero, just a very specific kind of hero. Fourteen genres are available; comedy is the one to choose for the person who makes everyone laugh.
You see the cover options and a preview of the story before paying. Printed in paperback or hardcover with free US shipping, or as a PDF within 24 hours. Good for a birthday, a retirement, or a brother who thinks he is funnier than you.

The Gift They Never Stop Talking About
Real words from our customers, shared with their permission
When it came to writing and putting my vision onto paper, I faced significant challenges. BeTheAuthor gave me a way to bring my ideas to life... It helped shape and refine what I was trying to express without losing the heart of my story. This isn't just a platform to me, this is the doorway to success.

I absolutely love the book. Thank y'all so much, you did a fantastic job putting my words together. The way you put the entire storyline together absolutely captured my son and his dogs, exactly what they are. My family that has read these two books wants to keep them.

Questions people ask about a personalized comedy book
No. The story is affectionate, and the person is the hero of it. The humor comes from their real habits and the situations you answer about, not from making fun of them. If you want a sharper tone, you can steer it in your answers, but the book stays warm.
The humor is built from the specific things you tell us, which is why it lands. Generic jokes are forgettable; the one about the way he parks is not. You preview the story before you order.
Yes. Answer about the person, and mention the others. The people you name become characters, and a family comedy with everyone in it works especially well because everyone recognizes themselves.
Birthdays, retirements, Father's Day, and anyone who has been telling the same story at dinner for ten years. It is also a natural genre for a best friend.
The Digital Edition is $29, the Paperback is $39 and the Hardcover is $59. Both printed editions include the digital copy, and standard shipping within the US is free.
