Nerdy stuff for authors
As a picture book author and engineer, I've created some tools and resources to help my fellow creators. I hope you find some of these things helpful!
PB Workshop
Join hundreds of picture book creators who collaborate, swap critiques, share resources, and cheer each other on inside our active Discord community.
BookCrewHQ.com
A web app to streamline your author promotional and review-swapping groups: distribute ARCs, message your team, track reviews, and stay organized—no spreadsheets required.
Virtual Storytime
A web and desktop app for presenting picture book PDFs beautifully during virtual author visits and classes.
PB Author Tools
Manuscript word counts that subtract your art notes, plus readability, word clouds, and formatting helpers—free in your browser or right inside Google Docs.
Print & Fold PB Maker
Turn a picture book PDF into a print-ready booklet with double-sided pages that are ordered properly when printed and folded.
No generative AI, period. These tools and resources do not use generative AI or LLMs at all.
