My Storybook review
A focused web tool for illustrated stories, classroom projects, and printed booklets.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
My Storybook is a browser-based tool for creating illustrated storybooks from scratch or templates. Writers, children, teachers, and classrooms can add text, images, characters, and illustrations, then publish stories through direct links. Its focus is visual, accessible book creation rather than full novel production, making it a natural fit for educators and creators working on short, illustrated projects.
The free version supports story creation and sharing, with text, items, basic characters, limited image uploads, and publishing through direct links or Google Classroom. The Authors plan costs $10 per month and adds unlimited high-quality printed copies of storybooks. At $28 per month, Educators adds Google Classroom class import, unlimited student booklet printing, Google Photobooks export, customizable templates, and unlimited image uploads. Administrators costs $250 per month and adds unlimited classrooms, school onboarding and training, and a customer support agreement. A 7-day free trial is advertised, and annual subscriptions include two free months.
Classroom connectivity is the strongest reason to choose My Storybook. Google Classroom supports assignments and class import, while Google Photos supports photobook exports; stories can also be exported to PDF and printed as booklets or student storybooks. Automatic saving helps preserve progress while writing. The trade-off is scope: the product centers on storybooks, illustrations, sharing, and classroom output, with limited manuscript formatting and outlining tools. Educators, parents, and illustrated story creators should find the feature set well aligned with visual projects. Authors seeking a broader novel-writing environment or more extensive manuscript production tools should consider an alternative.
