A real book, on a real shelf.
The book is the point. Once you've approved a story, you can order it as a real square softcover — the kind that ends up on a shelf, not in a downloads folder.
What you get
- Softcover, 8.5" × 8.5", full color throughout
- A short picture book: one illustrated page for each step of the story
- Printed on demand and shipped to your door — we estimate 7–10 business days
- $19.99 per book — a one-time charge, available on any plan, including Free
Printing is handled by our print partner, Lulu, using the same illustrations your child watched appear in the Studio.
Nothing prints without you
Only a story you've approved can be ordered. Books that are still “awaiting parent” never reach the printer, and you can order right after approving from the same page. How approval works.
Ordering, shipping, and refunds
You check out securely with Stripe — Inklings never sees your card number — and choose a shipping address in the US, Canada, the UK, or Australia. Your address and the finished book file are shared with Lulu so they can print and ship it.
Because books are made on demand, we can't cancel an order once it has been sent to fulfillment. If a book arrives damaged or misprinted, we replace it or refund you. The full wording is in our terms.
Screen first, print when you're ready
Every plan can read approved stories on screen in your family library. Choose print for the stories worth keeping — see pricing for the full comparison.
