Frequently asked questions
How do I register my gift?
You need to register your gift online. Full instructions can be found in the
registration details included in your gift box.
How do I register my gift if I don’t have access to the internet?
Internet access is free at most libraries. Alternatively many cafés also
offer easy and affordable access to the internet.
How long do I have to register the gift?
You need to register the gift before the expiry date on the registration booklet.
We recommend that you register the gift as soon as possible.
Do I have to replace all of the suggested character names?
No. Any character’s name that you do not replace will keep their original
name.
Can I alter the sex of the characters I want to replace?
You can but we do not recommend doing so. This is because only instances of
the name itself are substituted, not references to ‘he’ or ‘she’.
If you were to substitute a male character with a female name, references to
‘he’, ‘his’ or ‘him’ would remain. This
could make your Personalised Classic confusing.
How long does it take to receive the personalised novel?
The book will be dispatched within 28 days from the date of registration. Occasionally,
factors outside of Gift Republic’s control, may affect delivery times.
What format is the Personalised Classic book?
Your tailor-made novel will be a paperback.
