We couldn't find this book. It may have been deleted, or you might be signed into a different account from the one that made it.

This book has been finalized, so its pages, characters, and plan are now read-only.
What to try: If you need to make a change, contact us and we can reopen it for you.
This book is still being generated or hasn't finished planning.
What to try: Wait for generation to finish (you'll get an email), then try again.
This book is already on the queue or being painted by the worker right now.
What to try: Wait for it to finish. Don't queue it twice.
Something the book needs before this step is missing: a plan, an approved cast, or at least one story idea.
What to try: Go back to the previous step and finish it, then try again.
You can't download this book until it's been finalized, which locks it in and triggers the print files.

What to try: Make sure the page has text and at least one character.
We couldn't load the character reference sheet for one of the people or pets on this page or book.
What to try: Go back to your characters, make sure each one has approved art, then try again.
