How does the "Write About Me" custom story service work?
The process is a simple, collaborative partnership to create a magical story for your child. It begins with a questionnaire where you'll share details about your child—their name, friends, favorite things, and even challenges they might be facing. From there, I craft a unique narrative and, depending on the package you choose, create custom animations. You'll have a chance to review the story to ensure it's perfect before the final version is delivered.

What is included in the starting price of $30 for a "Write About Me" story?
The starting package at $30 includes a beautifully written, personalized short story (approximately 300-450 words) delivered to you as a digital PDF. This story will feature your child as the main character. Options for custom illustrations, animated videos, longer narratives, rhyming, and printed physical copies (currently only available in softcover) are available for an additional cost.
-
How personalized can my child's story be?
Extremely personalized! The goal is to make your child the true hero of their own tale. We can include their name, age, friends' names, favorite toys, and even pets. We can also build the story around a specific theme, lesson, or milestone you'd like to celebrate. For those in the Cincinnati area, we can even weave local landmarks like the Museum Center or the Roebling Bridge into the adventure!
-
How long does it take to receive our custom story?
Because each story is crafted from scratch with love and care, the typical turnaround time is between 1 to 4 weeks from when the initial questionnaire is completed. This allows for the writing, any requested revisions, and the illustration process if applicable. But the duration truly depends on how busy we are.

What is the overall mission of "Books for little souls"?
The mission is simple: to empower children through stories that nurture compassion, courage, and spiritual growth. The free books are designed to spread these values widely, while the "Write About Me" service makes those lessons deeply personal, helping a child see the hero within themselves and the magic in their own world.
