Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything you need to know about creating a personalised Storyloom, from your first idea to delivery.
About Storyloom
5 questionsYes. Every Storyloom is a personalised illustrated storybook created from your own memories. Unlike books with fixed characters or templates, every story is written from scratch and illustrated specifically for the people, places, and moments you share.
A Storyloom is for any memory, relationship, or chapter of life you'd like to preserve. Whether it's a lifelong friendship, a marriage, a childhood, or a family tradition, we'll help you turn it into a story worth keeping. It's a personalised gift for the people whose stories deserve to be remembered.
Storyloom is commissioned for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, Raksha Bandhan, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, and many moments that don't have a name.
Most personalised storybooks place names into a pre-written story. Storyloom is different. Every story is written from scratch, every illustration is created specifically for your memories, and every book is crafted for just one person or family. Nothing is templated, and no two Storylooms are ever the same.
Storyloom is proudly based in India. Every Storyloom is crafted here and delivered to families across India and to loved ones around the world.
Creating Your Story
7 questionsIt begins with a conversation. You share your memories, photographs, and the people or moments you want to celebrate. Our writers create the story, our illustrators bring it to life, and you'll review everything before it's printed, bound, and delivered.
Simply begin your Storyloom through our enquiry form. We'll get in touch to understand your story, recommend the right edition, share a personalised quote and timeline, and answer any questions before you decide to go ahead. There's no payment required to start the conversation.
Less than you think. You don't need a finished story or perfectly organised memories. A few photographs, voice notes, or even a simple conversation is enough for us to begin shaping your Storyloom together.
You don't need to be. You share memories the way you'd tell them to a friend - scattered, unpolished, out of order. Our writers shape them into a story. Most of our favourite books began as voice notes.
Of course. Many Storylooms begin in childhood and continue through adulthood. Others focus on a single year or a single relationship. Together, we'll decide what makes the strongest story.
That's completely fine. Photographs help us capture likenesses, but the heart of every Storyloom comes from your memories. Even a handful of photos is usually enough.
Yes. Voice notes, handwritten letters, emails, WhatsApp messages, and diary entries can all become part of the story. Sometimes those small details are what make a Storyloom feel unmistakably personal.
The Book
4 questionsAs many as the story naturally calls for. Some books revolve around two people, while others include parents, grandparents, siblings, children, friends, and even beloved pets. We'll recommend the edition that best fits the story you want to tell.
Our illustrations are created in Storyloom's signature painterly style, inspired by timeless picture books and classic editorial artwork. Keeping one artistic style allows every Storyloom to feel cohesive, elegant, and made to be treasured for years.
Yes. You'll review the completed illustrated book before anything goes to print. This is your opportunity to request refinements and make sure every page feels just right before it's printed and bound.
Yes. Many customers already have a title in mind, while others prefer us to suggest one. We'll make sure it feels true to your story.
Pricing and Orders
4 questionsEvery Storyloom is written, illustrated, designed, reviewed, and printed individually. You're not choosing a template or uploading photographs into a layout. You're commissioning an original illustrated keepsake book created over several weeks by real writers and illustrators. That's what makes every Storyloom unique.
Most Storylooms take two to three weeks from your first conversation to delivery. If you're working towards a special date, let us know. We'll plan the timeline so it's ready to be opened when it matters most.
Yes. If you'd like additional copies for parents, siblings, or other family members, we can arrange them for an additional cost. It's easiest to order extra copies alongside your original Storyloom, but they can often be added later as well.
Yes. You'll review your Storyloom before it goes to print, so there will be an opportunity to request reasonable refinements.
Shipping and Delivery
7 questionsYes. Shipping is included with every Storyloom. There are no additional delivery charges.
Every Storyloom arrives beautifully packaged in a protective keepsake box, ready to gift. If you're sending it directly to someone special, we'll make sure the unboxing feels just as thoughtful as the book inside.
