We combine the power of storytelling, design and technology to create impossibly personal books. (We’re hiring!)

About us

Wonderbly is the world’s leading personalised publishing company. We make wonderful, unique books for wonderful customers all over the world. Our mission is to make people feel extraordinarily special, and bring them closer to the people they love, through the power of personalised stories. So far we’ve shipped over 10 million books to over 150 countries. We’ve done this in just eight years, and we’re just getting started. Getting personalised books to all those millions of customers requires a multidisciplinary team. Our people have experience across editorial design, research, production, software engineering, marketing, ecommerce, data analysis, print-on-demand manufacturing, shipping… the list goes on. This means that Wonderbly is a very collaborative and creative place to work, with opportunities for growth and development across a broad range of skills. We’re based mainly in London, where we have a bright and light studio for working together. But like many digital first companies, we have a hybrid operating model with many colleagues working much of the time remotely. Our values Wonderbly’s values were born from the three enduring qualities at the heart of ‘Lost My Name’ - our original and best-selling children’s book. These values are Courage, Curiosity and Kindness. And although they naturally have a child-friendly ring to them, these are deeply human values that we believe everyone should live by. COURAGE - means taking calculated risks and trying things that no one else would. It's setting audacious goals, seeing them through, and being willing to be wrong. CURIOSITY - means investing in learning, never losing sight of ‘WHY’. Curiosity allows us to ask silly questions, explore our blind spots, and dip into other disciplines for inspiration. KINDNESS - is the Wonderbly heart: it’s no coincidence that deep friendships form here. Kindness means making space for one another, inclusivity as standard, and clear, direct communication.

This achievement is a testament to our foundational belief that businesses can and should be a force for good. It is incredibly gratifying to see that our dedication to our customers, employees, the environment, and our community is not only right but also fruitful.

    Reposting from Asi Sharabi 🎉 Wonderbly Surpasses 10 Million Personalised Books Sold! 📚 That's exciting isn't it!? As we mark this extraordinary milestone at Wonderbly, we find myself reflecting on the pillars that have upheld our journey from the first to the ten-millionth book: All about the grit: Behind this seemingly glamorous achievement is an endless series of ups and downs, twists and turns, days filled with self-doubt, weeks ridden with anxiety, one near-near death experience (you can’t call yourself an entrepreneur if you don’t have that star on your belt) and yet we kept going. Huge gratitude to the Wonderbly team, whose dedication and perseverance have been crucial to our success. You inspire me daily. Fortuitous Luck: While hard work has been crucial, we've also been fortunate. Our journey began with a serendipitous hit, Lost My Name, which was a pleasant surprise that exceeded all our expectations reminding us that sometimes, the stars align just right. From there, the challenge for me was clear: don't drop the ball, don’t f**k this up. Luck got us rolling, but grit, and our deliberate and thoughtful actions kept us on track. Obsession with Quality: From our first book we've been obsessed with proving to ourselves and the world that personalised books can be much more than a novelty gift - they are a serious canvas for creativity and a real product of literature. This obsession has made us the best and largest personalised book company in the world. Purpose and Values Over Vision: Over the years of evolving from a startup to a scale-up, I’ve come to realise that vision, while important, can sometimes be overrated. It is purpose and values that truly matter IMHO. Our journey with Lost My Name led us to adopt and embed courage, curiosity, and kindness into our company culture. These values haven’t just shaped our culture; they have been pivotal in driving our success. Finally, "Busy is a Decision": In the early days, amidst demanding jobs and very young families, we had every reason to pass on the project that would become Lost My Name. Yet, we chose to find the time for this little side-project, proving that "busy" is truly a decision. This choice laid the foundation for everything that followed. On the risk of being a cliche - make time for your dreams and passions, at the very least it will make you a happier person. This milestone reflects more than just numbers—it is a celebration of passion, innovation, and collective effort. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey. Our fantastic team, our PSPs, our investors, and of course, our amazing customers. And just to close with some fun data: Of the 10 million books sold, we've created personalised books with 501,617 unique names. Olivia tops the charts with 49,887 books. Even more fascinating—356,906 names have had just one book made for them. How’s that for unique? Thanks a million—actually, ten million!

    It is now a tradition that Wonderbly's executive team are cooking and serving Thanksgiving lunch to the whole company. There is plenty of evidence that practicing gratitude dramatically increases our sense of well-being, yet we humans consistently fail to acknowledge our blessings and instead choose to fixate on misfortune...so let us be reminded that generosity and gratitude are possibly the most efficient, effective, cheapest, fastest ways to become more happy. Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at Wonderbly

    🎉 Introducing our new range of adult-to-adult personalised books 🎉 If you’ve followed our journey you'll know that at Wonderbly, our mission has always been to foster profound connections through the magic of personalised books and storytelling. Over the years, we have embarked on countless adventures with millions of families, igniting imagination, joy, and unyielding self-belief through our children's personalised books. In the past few years we've taken some baby steps and slowly expanded our obsession and portfolio into personalised adult-to-adult book gifting. We’ve been talking a lot about this idea of creatively uplifting, meaningfully personalised books from cradle to grave - for every age, occasion and relationship. For nearly a year now we’ve operated two new publishing studios in-house, both of them were set up to explore the possibilities of personalised books for grownups. Driven by our purpose, our entrepreneurial instincts and a deep creative/intellectual curiosity, this turned out to be an audacious, juicy and meaty challenge (just as we like our challenges to be). Unlike our genesis story, this time round there was no existing shitty category to make better and there was little to copy from the children's work we’ve done all of those past years. It is a complete blank canvas - creatively, technically, commercially - everything we do here is entirely new.     And so today, we're as excited as a child on Christmas morning to introduce to you some of our new adult-to-adult personalised book gifting. We're expanding our portfolio to redefine how thoughtful gifters and book lovers can connect with their loved ones through the power of meaningful personalisation. Simply put, we are giving people creative superpowers to create even deeper connections with the people they love. Now, those who adore our children's books can find the perfect personalized gift for everyone they cherish with never-seen-before propositions, tailored to capture the essence of every special relationship in your life. Here are some examples from what's been cooking: world's first personalised survival guides. Beautiful perosnlised poetry books - for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduation, retirement and more. For our American Christian audience, here are some world-first heartfelt personailsed devotional books for female-female deep friendship. The incredible personalised Astrology books with dozens of design choices, and ….coming soon, some amazing new books for lovers and partners because nothing say I love you better than a meaningfully personalised book. Massive shout out to the incredible Wonderbly team that has poured boundless dedication and creativity into creating and curating these brilliantly designed propositions, ensuring that each Wonderbly book you create is a testament to the unique bond you share with your loved ones.
