Frequently asked questions

Why are custom self-published author notebooks a good option?

Ideal for book signings, writing workshops, or online shops, custom notebooks help self-published authors foster a deeper connection with fans and promote their work in a professional, memorable way.

Whether you're using them as event giveaways, merchandise, or client gifts, these personalized notebooks can feature your book cover, logo, or even inspirational quotes. 

With options like spiral-bound notebooks, customizable covers, and high-quality paper, they serve as a daily reminder of your work and creativity.

How can I order personalized self-published author notebooks?

Ordering personalized self-published author notebooks through Fourthwall is simple and efficient. 

Start by uploading your custom cover design, book logo, or personalized text using Fourthwall’s user-friendly design tools. 

Next, choose from a variety of notebook styles, colors, and sizes—such as spiral-bound notebooks or lined journals—to match your creative brand. 

Once published, Fourthwall takes care of the printing, shipping, and fulfillment, so you can focus on engaging your audience while offering them high-quality, custom-branded merchandise.

Does Fourthwall ship worldwide?

Yes! Fourthwall works with manufacturing & fulfillment partners around the globe in the US, UK, EU, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Japan.

Shipping rates are dynamically determined by the size of package and destination. We work with most major carriers and pass through the true cost of shipping. That means that you can offer low-cost, fast shipping to your fans. Most items have a delivery window of 5-8 days.

Be sure to browse our product catalog to find products that are fulfilled out of your target regions to provide the fastest & cheapest shipping for your community.

Is a custom notebook good for tracking book drafts and writing progress?

Yes, custom notebooks are excellent for tracking book drafts and writing progress. Writers can design dedicated pages for word count tracking, chapter outlines, character development notes, and manuscript timelines. Most items arrive in 7-10 business days, providing delivery within two weeks for your writing project.

How much writing space do author notebooks typically include?

Most custom author notebooks include 100-200 lined pages (standard 5.5x8.5 inch size), with paper weights between 50-80 gsm for smooth writing experience. Fourthwall notebooks arrive in 7-10 business days and can be ordered individually with no minimum purchase requirement.

Can I customize the notebook cover with my book artwork?

Do lined notebooks work better for authors than blank or grid pages?
