Our Story

Our mission is to make personalized, special edition books accessible to everyone!

We’re a first-of-its-kind DIY book box company on a mission to empower readers to transform their beloved novels into unique, one-of-a-kind editions that reflect their own style and connection to the story.

Born from a love for books, crafting, and the beauty of special editions, Literary Layers breaks away from the limitations of traditional book boxes with no more waiting lists, pre-orders, or missed opportunities. Our on-demand, customizable book boxes are designed to give every reader the chance to create something truly special, whenever inspiration strikes.

Our mission is to make personalized, special edition books accessible to everyone. We believe in the magic of storytelling and the power of creativity. At Literary Layers, we’re here to celebrate the art of making each book feel as personal as the story it holds. We’re more than a book box—we’re a community of readers, creators, and dreamers, inviting you to join us in crafting something unforgettable.

We Are Readers

At Literary Layers, we are readers first. We know the thrill of escaping into new worlds, meeting unforgettable characters, and staying up late to read “just one more chapter.” Literary Layers was created for those who don’t just want to read a story—they want to experience it on a personal level. We’re here to help you transform your favorite books into one-of-a-kind treasures that reflect your unique connection to the story.

We Are Writers

Literary Layers offers new opportunities for authors, especially indie authors who may face challenges securing traditional book box deals. With us, indie authors can showcase their work, reaching new readers and earning additional income through creative book box collaborations. Your support allows these writers to connect with audiences in a deeply personal and innovative way, helping stories come alive in readers’ hands.

We Are Artists

Our journey wouldn’t be complete without artists – Literary Layers partners with talented independent artists to design exclusive, custom artwork for each book box. Artists can work on projects that inspire them, creating beautiful, story-driven pieces that bring the magic of each book to life. Your support helps these artists earn a steady income while sharing their passion for art and literature with a like-minded community.
