How to Order
Transfer Photos & Info to Us
Send us 5 photos (see images above) via WeTransfer.
It is a free and safe file sharing service. You may need to create a free account or they may ask you to verify your email address.
Address the transfer to info@honeycombbooks.co.uk
In the accompanying WeTransfer message let us know if you would like eBooks or paper books - and the name of the school as you would like it to appear.
Smartphone photo quality is perfect for the images.
The School Building - What will the child see as they approach on their first day? The entrance, pathway, classroom or front door can work well here, too. Sunshine helps.
School Uniform & Sports Kit - A boy and girl in September uniform (at eye level and smiling).
Head and Class Teacher - Photos saved with names, titles and roles as you wish them to appear. Include the school preference between Head Teacher, Headteacher, Head, headmaster and headmistress, as well as Ms, Miss, Mr, Dr, Mrs, etc.
Your Logo - (If you want it).
The school will be able to review and approve the book.
We invoice the school and payment is within 14 days.
By placing an order you are agreeing to our T&Cs.
Common Errors
Include the children's shoes in the uniform photos if possible.
Full length shots of teachers can make faces smaller - we recommend as much focus on faces as possible. We don't need their shoes.
Save the staff photos with helpful file names so we know who is who.
The paper books require a signature so if you order when the school is closed we may need a home address.
If a photo on file looks pixilated to you it will look pixilated in the book.
We can't use photos embedded in PDFs or Word documents. Each photo must be a separate file.
FAQs
We don't know who the teacher will be
A group shot of the SMT or EYFS team works really well and some schools choose to do this anyway.
We have multiple class entry
You can create one book that everyone receives with all the class teachers included or order separate books for each class.
How long will it take?
Between 5-14 working days depending on when you order. March is quick. June is busy. Paper books take longer than eBooks (for print and post).
Delays may occur when multiple school stakeholders weigh in to approve the design. Try and secure approval in advance.
We don't have a uniform
Send a photo of children in representative clothes.
We could also add a photo of the class.
We want to change some elements of the books
Ensure all school stakeholders weigh in early. Text changes are £10 per page.
Inclusion & Diversity: We will change the names of the characters for free if different names would better serve your community.
We can't use Wetransfer
WeTransfer is a free, safe and simple file-sharing website. If you're not able to use the site let us know and we will suggest an alternative.
Can we review the book before publication?
Absolutely.
We want you to check it before we go to print or the eBook goes live.
If there are further changes this does incur a charge per set of edits (£25) to keep the process moving along. Do make sure the relevant stakeholders weigh in as early as possible.
We would like a book for nursery Or multiple eyfs year groups
No problem. We have a simple version of the book or we can create a book that would work across several year groups.
We would like to include more StafF
We recommend simplicity, but you can include more members of the team.
When do ebooks expire?
The eBooks are live for the key months the children need them to prepare (mid-May to Mid-October).
Different questions? Call us or email us.
We look forward to your order!
