Your narrative mirror, in motion

Preview your novel. Free.

A first name, a photograph, a few gentle questions. In about ten minutes the Scribes send back a short film of 45 to 60 seconds: the cover of your novel, its first lines, read aloud. Your Mirror Minute.

Nothing to pay, nothing to cancel. One film, once, for you.

The name on the cover

One first name — the one people call you by, not the one on your passport.

A few gentle questions

One shelf, two questions in your own words, and a name if one comes to you. There are no right answers — only yours.

Choose the shelf it belongs on

Leave it blank — the scribes will name it.

Nobody reads this but the scribes. It is what your character is made of.

80 characters at least — 0 so far

Whatever comes first is usually the true one.

80 characters at least — 0 so far

And your double — how should the story speak of them?

This is about the character in your film, not about you.

Your photograph

One clear photograph of your face. It is a mood board for your double — a light, a bearing, a weather. It is never shown, and it never appears in the film.

Your cover appears here.

It goes to a private place only you and the hand that composes your film can reach. Nothing is measured from your face, and nothing about you is read from it.

Choose one now if you like. It stays on this page, in your hands, until Your Secret Garden opens below — then it travels with you.

Before the scribes begin

What becomes of it

Read the full wording

About the photograph you are sharing. It is a mood board, not a portrait. Your photograph is used only as a source of inspiration while your character is composed — a palette, a light, a presence. It is never reproduced in the film you receive: what appears on screen is a fictional character, not you.

By continuing you confirm three things: that the photograph is yours, or that you hold the right to use it; that it does not show a minor; and that you agree to it being used for this single purpose. Your photograph is kept in a private space, is never sold, never shared, and never shown to another reader unless you expressly allow it below. Every photograph is reviewed before anything is made, and images we cannot accept are declined.

Where your film may be shown. A film written for one person is the only honest way to show what the scribes do. So your finished film, its cover and its book mockup may be shown as examples on soulprint-book.com. Your photograph never appears there — what is shown is the character, the cover, and the film itself. This is part of what makes the preview free, and it is why it is here rather than hidden in a separate box.

If you would rather not be among them, write to hello@soulprint-book.com and your film comes down. You can also take it down yourself, at any time, from Your Secret Garden.

And about the words you write. What you tell us in your own sentences is used for one thing only: to compose your character. Your film never quotes it — not a line of it appears on screen, and nothing of it is shown to anyone. Only the scribes read it; no human being ever does. You can ask us to erase it at any time at hello@soulprint-book.com.

You can ask us to remove it at any time at hello@soulprint-book.com. More in our Privacy Policy.

Entirely up to you, and quite apart from the examples on soulprint-book.com described above. Your film is made either way, your photograph is never posted, and nothing of yours goes out on social media without this. You can change your mind at any time by writing to hello@soulprint-book.com.

Your Secret Garden

A quiet place of your own. Your film lands there, and nothing of yours is ever shown in the open.

Two letters, and no more: one to confirm this address, and one the moment your film is ready.
Eight characters or more. It is what opens the gate, and nothing else.

Already have a Secret Garden? Sign in and pick up where you left off

Nothing is posted anywhere. We write to the address you gave us; follow the link inside, and your film begins on its own. It comes back to you here, and to Your Secret Garden — you decide, afterwards, who ever sees it.

Written for you. Only you.
