A gift he could not have picked out himself
Gifts for a boyfriend tend to fall into two piles: things he mentioned once, and things every boyfriend gets. A novel where he is the main character skips both. It is made from what you know about him, the story he tells at every party, the thing he is weirdly good at, the plan he keeps saying he will do next year.
You choose the genre. An adventure that takes his actual hobbies and raises the stakes, a comedy that runs on his own jokes, a romance about the two of you told from a third person's view, or a thriller where his very specific skills finally matter. Fourteen genres, and he is the lead in all of them.
You see cover designs and a preview of the story before paying, so there is no guessing about whether it lands. Printed in paperback or hardcover with free US shipping, or as a PDF within 24 hours if you are running late.
Three stories with your boyfriend as the lead
Player Two
A story about a man who treats everything like a game, from cooking to parking, and the one person who finally beats him at his own rules. Romance, mostly. Some rivalry.
The Quiet Expert
A thriller in which a very ordinary job turns out to be the only skill that can solve a very unusual problem. Built around whatever he does for a living, made a great deal more dangerous.

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 before ordering a book for their boyfriend
Yes. The questions are about who he is, not how long you have known him. His habits, his friends, what he is proud of, and one or two stories are enough to give the novel its character.
Comedy is one of the fourteen genres, and one of the three that get chosen most often. You choose the genre and the tone when you answer the questions, and the preview shows you how it reads before you order.
Reading about yourself is a different experience from reading in general. Every chapter is about him and the people he knows, so he is not working through a stranger's story; he is checking whether the book got his right. That is a much easier reason to turn the page.
The book ships to the address you choose, and nothing about the process involves him. The digital edition goes to your email, not his.
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.
