Frequently Asked Questions

You pick a book type and a sport, tell us about the athlete — name, team, jersey number, position, coach, teammates, and the moments that matter — and our AI writes a full personalized storybook around them. You preview the first chapter free, then choose your format and order.

Yes. Every book starts with a free Chapter 1 preview, generated from the details you entered, before you pay anything. If you do not love the direction of the story, you do not have to order.

Just a few minutes. Most Chapter 1 previews are ready in about 2 minutes. Your finished cover can take a little longer — you can keep your book in your Library and check back.

Every SportsyTales book has 12 chapters and runs about 240 pages. It is a real book-length story, not a short novelty print.

The interior is text-only prose — a written story, chapter by chapter, with no interior images. The cover is full color, and you can personalize it (see below).

We cover 17 sports. There are 8 book types for different moments: The Legend of [Name] (our signature story), Youth Athlete Keepsake (ages 6–14), Athlete as Superhero, Senior Night Sports Tale, Coach Appreciation Book, Team Captain Story, Funny Teammate Tale, and Championship Season Story. If the occasion is a season, a senior night, a championship, or a thank-you to a coach, there is a book type built for it.

Digital delivery is instant once your book is generated: download it from your Library after checkout. There is nothing to ship, which also makes the PDF the fastest option for a last-minute gift.

Printed books (Paperback and Premium Hardcover) ship in 5–7 business days. Order status moves through your Library as your book is placed, generated, printed, shipped, and delivered. Full detail is on our Shipping and Delivery page.

Yes. At checkout you can enter the recipient’s shipping address instead of your own, and use the gift option so the book is presented as a gift. Double-check the recipient’s address before you complete the purchase — printed books are made to order for one person, so the address has to be right.

The story is built from exactly what you enter — names, team, numbers, and details — so please check spellings carefully before you order, and read your free Chapter 1 preview closely. The preview is your chance to catch a typo or adjust a detail while it is still free to change. What you approve in the preview is what goes into your book.

To write your book, the details you enter are sent to AI language model services. Your information is not used to train AI models, and we do not sell your data. Our Privacy page explains what we collect, the essential cookies we use, and how to request access to or deletion of your data by email.

Your book is licensed for personal, non-commercial use — it is yours to keep, read, and give as a gift. It may not be resold, reproduced for sale, or used commercially. See our Terms for the full license.
