General Guidelines

Examples of our books:

Before submitting a manuscript, please explore our personalized storybooks at www.iseeme.com to understand our style and approach.

Main character personalization:

The main character of the story should be a child, whose name will be provided by the customer when each unique book is ordered. Use placeholders (e.g. [Child's Name]) in the manuscript to indicate where personalization occurs.

Additional personalization elements:

Enrich the story with elements like:

1. Family member names (e.g. [Sibling's Name], [Pet's Name])
2. Hometown or city (e.g. [Hometown])
3. Friends' names (e.g. [Friend's Name])
4. Any other unique personal elements that add depth to the story

Story structure and content:

1. We prefer our storybooks to be written in rhyme.
2. Ensure the story is engaging, imaginative, and suitable for children up to 8 years old.

Length and format:

1. Our books are typically 20 pages long, consisting of 9 spreads plus title and legal pages.
2. Include approximately one 4-line stanza of rhyming text per page, totaling up to 18 stanzas.

Illustration ideas:

Including illustration suggestions is optional. Art direction for all titles is managed in-house.
