A Short Story

A Short Story

A short, gentle ten-page story on the same engine that makes the longer books, for a fraction of the price. The lowest-commitment way to see what a book of your own feels like, and a lovely small gift on its own.

What's in it

One ten-page story, written and illustrated end to end

A complete short story with your cast on every page. It is the same engine, the same character-builder, and the same review-every-page editing that the longer books get; it is just smaller. The book is fully digital, yours to download and keep the moment it is done.

When it fits

A quick gift, an easy first try, a small keepsake

Send it to a faraway grandparent on a Tuesday. Make one for a kid for the start of school. Try the studio on a small story before committing to a longer one. None of those need the full anthology; this is the package for them.

When it does not

If you want a hardcover book, pick a larger tier

The Short Story is digital only by design, since a ten-page hardcover would not stand up on a shelf as a real keepsake. A Single Story or the Anthology come with a hardcover option for that exact reason.
