Story Spark

What is Story Spark?

Story Spark is a magical new way to create books. Our book creator helps you transform your stories into illustrated storybooks or longer-form books you can hold in your hands as stunning hardcovers. From personalized illustrated storybooks for children to full-length novels, educational resources, and biographies. Use our AI to generate and illustrate a complete book from scratch, hand us your story for our book illustrator to bring to life, or open a blank canvas and write a book entirely your own way.

What kinds of books can I make?

Story Spark supports two types of books. Story Books are beautifully illustrated 21cm × 21cm hardcovers - ideal for children's stories, personalised gifts, and storybook series. Books are 16.5cm × 24cm hardcovers of up to 200 pages - perfect for novels, educational books, non-fiction, biographies, family histories, and memoirs.

Do I need to be a writer to use Story Spark?

Not at all. Our AI story generator can write and illustrate a complete book from your description — you just provide the idea. If you want to write a book yourself, we give you all the tools to do that too. Story Spark is designed to support every level of creator, from first-timers to experienced authors.

Can I create characters from photos?

Yes. Upload a photo of anyone — a child, a parent, a grandparent, a pet, a toy — and Story Spark will transform it into a unique illustrated character ready to appear in your book.

Can Story Spark be used for education?

Absolutely. Story Spark is used by teachers and educators to create custom stories, classroom readers, and educational resources. We support multiple languages, neurodivergent-friendly text styles, and offer subscription plans for schools and institutions. To learn more please contact our support on [email protected].

Can I edit my book before I print it?

Yes. Story Spark's book editor lets you refine every page before committing — edit text, adjust layouts, and use the Spark writing assistant for support mid-draft. You can also preview your complete book page by page before you order a printed copy.

Can I print a book through Story Spark?

Yes. Both Story Books and longer-form Books can be printed as high-quality hardcovers and dispatched within 5 working days. Before you print a book, you can preview every single page to make sure it's exactly right.
