Unauthorised Bio

A completely personalised illustrated biography of someone you know far too well.

10 questions. One photo.
One gloriously unauthorised hardback book.

Discover the books

Funny. Personal. Ridiculously giftable.

Everyone has a story.
Some need explaining.

Some people have a story involving remarkable achievements, great adventures and profound wisdom.

Others snore, lose their keys three times a day and have a suspicious relationship with Amazon deliveries.

We celebrate all of it.

The Unauthorised Bio turns a handful of facts about someone you love into a witty, beautifully designed hardback biography—with illustrated chapters and all the unnecessary seriousness of a major literary release.

Produced entirely without the subject’s cooperation. Which is probably for the best.

The plan is simple

You provide the material.
We make it literature.

01

Ten easy questions.

Their habits, obsessions, favourite phrases and questionable decisions. Short answers are perfect.

02

One good photo.

The starting point for the illustrated character who will star in their very own biography.

03

A proper hardback.

A personalised story, custom illustrations and a book made especially for them. Ready to give, unwrap and cause accusations.

Meet our first leading lady

Meet Lulu.

Funny. Adventurous. Chaotic.

Lulu loves dogs, horses and travel. She snores. She forgets everything. She has absolutely no filter.

She’s brilliant at writing and making people laugh. She cannot cook.

And if she ever wins £10 million? She intends to tell absolutely nobody.

Exactly the sort of life that deserves documenting.

Introducing our sample biography

A life conducted with enthusiasm, questionable planning and absolutely no filter.

A proper little book.
A very personal present.

A grand send-off

Retirements, leaving presents and lives ready for their next chapter.
