Simple, honest pricing
One price per story.
Nothing to pay until it's finished.
Telling your story costs nothing. You read the whole finished book first, then choose your format, and the exact price is always shown before you pay.

Priced by the story, not the page
The price depends on just two things. How long the story is, and whether you choose a digital, softcover or hardcover edition. Your photos are included at no extra cost.
2
Read it all before you pay
You read your entire finished book before spending a penny. Only when it feels right do you choose a format and place your order.
3
The digital edition comes free with print
Every printed book, softcover or hardcover, includes the digital edition at no extra cost, so the story can be shared as widely as you like.
Choosing your format
Every story, in the form it deserves.
You decide once you've read the finished book, and every printed edition includes the digital edition free.
Digital edition

Pricing questions
The questions everyone asks.
When do I pay?
Only at the very end. Telling your story, writing the book and reading every chapter costs nothing. You pay once you have read the finished book and chosen your format.
What if my book comes out longer or shorter than expected?
The price never changes. Each story length has one fixed price per format, so however many pages your story needs, you pay exactly what you saw here.
Are photos included in the price?
Yes. Every story length includes a generous photo allowance, from 25 photos in a Short Story up to 100 in a Complete Memoir. If you need more, you can add 25 extra photo slots for £10.00.
How much is delivery?
Your book is printed and bound to order. UK delivery is £4.99 and your book arrives within 7-10 days of ordering. We also deliver worldwide, and international rates are shown at checkout.
Can I order extra copies for family?
Yes, and each one costs less. Your second copy is 25% off and every copy after that is 40% off, so a book for £74.00 becomes £55.50 for the second copy and £44.40 for each one after.
How long does the launch offer last?
Our launch prices are for founding storytellers while we introduce Chapternity to the world. Once you have started a story, the price you saw is the price you pay.
What if I change my mind?
Because you only pay after reading your finished book, there is nothing to refund if the story is not right yet. Simply keep refining it with Sage. Once you have ordered, our refund policy has you covered. If your book turns up damaged, misprinted or faulty in any way, we replace it free of charge. Just send us a photo and your order number. For digital editions and audiobooks, get in touch within 14 days and we will put it right.
