THE READER'S DESK
A few answers before the press rolls.
A personal newspaper starts with a small story. Here's how previews, keepsakes, and sharing work.
What is You're Making Headlines?
It turns a person's name and a few details into a clearly fictional, personalized three-page newspaper. It's a novelty gift or keepsake, not a factual biography or a report of real events.
What occasions can I make an edition for?
Choose birthday, Office MVP, proud little victory, retirement send-off, or just because. You can also start a freeform edition for a story of your own.
What should I write about the person?
Use small, specific details: a favorite hobby, a kind habit, a shared memory, or the achievement you want to celebrate. Only include details you are comfortable sharing. Avoid sensitive personal information and private workplace details.
How much does a personal newspaper cost?
A branded preview is free, with one free edition per verified email every 24 hours. The optional Keepsake Edition has a $9.99 one-time launch price for your saved edition as a print-quality US Letter PDF and high-resolution PNG without preview branding, plus two additional versions of the same subject with exports included. Generation depends on available capacity.
Can I make an edition right now?
New editions are available when generation is enabled. If the maker shows that the press is paused or at capacity, generation is temporarily unavailable. The occasion guides can help you prepare your details while you wait.
Will my personal edition show up in search results?
Personal editions are private by default. If you choose to publish, anyone with the link can view and copy the preview. Customer edition pages are excluded from our sitemap and marked noindex, including published previews. Noindex is a request to search engines, not a password or a guarantee that a link will remain secret.
Can I print it or give it as a gift?
The paid Keepsake Edition includes a print-quality US Letter PDF and high-resolution PNG. Print the PDF at actual size on US Letter paper; use your printer's preview to check margins. We provide digital files, not physical printing or shipping.
How do I find an edition or purchase again?
Use Find my edition or Recover an order with the email you used originally. You can also contact support with your edition link and order reference. Never send payment-card details.
What is the public news section?
The public news section is separate from personal novelty newspapers. It presents clearly fictional satire inspired by general news, AI, creators, technology, and finance. Every dated edition links to original reporting; read those publishers for the facts. Reading the public website is free.
What does the news digest subscription cost?
The optional news digest subscription is $12.99 per month or $142.89 per year, separate from the $9.99 personal Keepsake Edition. Digest delivery depends on the service being configured and available; check the subscription page for the current delivery status before subscribing.
