Authortales Reviews 

The technology is not there yet. It's fun in concept but there's no storyline and is really just a bunch of meandering words on a page.

I ordered my book on November 28 for my daughter for Christmas. We just got it yesterday December 22.
I was upset at first, but their customer service kept in touch with me the whole time, and they even offered me a full refund if I didn’t get it before Christmas, as I was so upset.
One of the reasons it shipped out so late was it didn’t pass quality control because they look through it and I’m glad I didn’t get a crappy book but it’s beautiful hardbound well worth the $74 I paid.
Will definitely buy more. I just wish they use somebody other than the USPS to ship.

aced an order with authortales.com on December 12th. The website clearly stated that the package estimated delivery was 16-21 December. So even worst case, I'd still have the item before Christmas. Well, the book didn't even have a shipping label until December 17th! then it was not handed off to a "shipping partner" (OSM Worldwide) until the 19th. Well here it is December 22nd and the book still has not been handed off to USPS. So any hope of the item being delivered before Christmas is gone. I love the idea of their business and if you have the time to wait for the slowest shipping possible, then I would recommend. I would allow for 3-4 weeks as an expectation of delivery. I have not received the item yet, so this is not a review of the quality of the product, just the manner in which they are currently conducting business.

I bought 3 books from authortales.com and they came out amazing!! The quality of the book is on point, the story is fun and I cant wait to give to my siblings.

The book I ordered for my daughter came out amazing. I can’t believe that with a few details I gave them, they were able to create such a great story. My daughter is thrilled with her book and has a wonderful keepsake to last a lifetime. Thank you.

Just received my book from authortales. The quality is perfect! It looks exactly like what you create on the website! Excellent customer service and fast shipping, just in time for the holidays. I highly recommend authortales!

We had a good experience. We ordered a book for a granddaughter as a Christmas gift and it arrived a full six days before Christmas, in plenty of time. Also, the book was very well done, very high in quality. In addition, every time I emailed them to ask about the book's status, they replied.

Not only is the book I ordered so fun - it was very quick for delivery and of great quality! I will certainly order another one!

Got two of these for my daughters this Christmas. The covers and titles are absolutely adorable—such a creative gift idea !

I'm a real customer, an actual author, and a copywriter and proofer by profession. I thought this product sounded fun as a gift for my daughter, and I admit that I didn't research reviews like I usually do. After receiving the book I ordered, then belatedly reading some reviews, I felt compelled to write this review.
I opened this package today and was genuinely thrilled! The cover was adorable, the set-up plate was professional, and I was laughing after the first paragraph.
I didn't want to "break the book" because I got the paperback version, and although it's good quality, I want to present it "new." But I did read a few chapters and I was very happy with it on its face. It's very hyperbolic and has too many "cutesy" descriptions, but it's honestly hilarious.
It was very surprising in its detail, and I'm excited to give it as a gift. I am concerned, in part, because I expected it to be a straight-forward "insert name here" kind of retread, and I did not realize it would be (obviously) written by AI. I'm hoping I'm wrong and that some amazing real writer is employed to do this. That would make all the difference!
I'm ashamed that I love it so much, but I think my daughter whom I bought it for is going to be upset that it probably took hundreds of gallons of water to produce this product while putting a real writer out of work.
Please tell me I'm wrong and that a super fun, real writer actually wrote this because I'm all in and will be your biggest fan.

This was such an amazing experience! All I had to do was answer a handful of questions about my sister's hobbies and throw in the first names of our family members—within minutes, the book was ready. They gave me a sneak peek of the story right away, and I was dying laughing! My sister is always the one telling hilarious stories about the rest of us, so she's going to lose it when she realizes this book is about HER for once. This is going to steal the show on Christmas morning... I seriously can't wait to watch her reaction! I got mines in 2 weeks, maybe because of the holiday season, just FYI

It was very easy to answer the questions. The cover was okay. They kept giving him more hair. There were so many mistakes. One character's name was completely wrong (Evelyn for Barbara) not even close. I contacted them, they offered a refund or another book. I gave them them another chance and opted for another book. We shall see.

Just ordered two books for my daughters, and the whole experience was incredibly smooth and quick. The hardest part? Picking between all the awesome genre options they created for me—mystery, fantasy, or sci-fi! The books took a bit longer than expected to arrive, but they were totally worth the wait—they look absolutely amazing. In fact, I loved them so much I went straight back and ordered a third one!

This book is everything I hoped for and more! It's a birthday gift for my brother, who's a massive Beatles fan—and the best part is, you don't even need to be a big reader to love this. The quality really impressed me—the cover put a huge smile on my face, and the binding, paper, and print quality are all top-notch.
