Questions
Questions from authors and illustrators.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes. We don't ask for exclusivity. You keep your original files and your rights, and you're free to publish your book anywhere else you like.
How do royalties work?
You earn a royalty on every copy of your book sold on Magikast. If your book is a fit, we agree the details with you, royalty included.
Will you change my words or illustrations?
No. Your words and your art stay exactly as you made them. We only weave each child in, in your style.
How does the personalization work?
A family chooses your book, uploads a photo of their child and sees a free preview with their child as the hero of your story. When they order, we print the book and send it to them.
Who can submit a book?

No. Tell us where your book is now, from a draft to finished pages, and share what you have.
Does submitting commit me to anything?
