A gift that grows with every year
By the time an anniversary comes around, you have run through the obvious gifts. Jewelry, dinner, the trip you keep postponing. A novel about your relationship is the one that gets better with every year you add to it, because every year gives you more to put in it.
You answer questions about your partner and about the two of you: how you met, the argument you now laugh about, the place that is yours, the small habits that make up a life together. The story is written from those answers in the genre you choose. Romance is the natural fit, but a comedy about your marriage or an adventure with the two of you as the leads works just as well.
You see the cover and a preview before paying. Add a dedication with the date. Printed books ship free in the US, and if the anniversary is this week, the digital edition arrives within 24 hours.

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 couples ask before ordering an anniversary book
Either. If you answer about your partner, they are the main character and you appear as a supporting one. If you answer about the two of you, the story follows the relationship. Either way, the dedication is where you name the anniversary.
The dedication page is yours to write, and the date with a few lines under it is a natural thing to put there. You can also upload a photo and we illustrate a cover from it.
Any of them. A first anniversary suits a romance, a tenth or twentieth suits a comedy about surviving each other, and a later one can become a Life Story about the life you built. The questions are the same; the genre changes the tone.
The digital edition arrives within 24 hours. For a printed book, order about three and a half weeks ahead: roughly three business days of printing, then the estimated 11 to 14 business days of free standard shipping in the US. Priority and express are quicker, and both are offered at checkout.
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.
