Three steps, three paws
The studio follows a book from first draft to finished read-through. Here is what it does at each step.
Step 1: Write
Draft the book the way a reader meets it: one page at a time.
Page-by-page manuscript
Each page holds its text and its art direction side by side, so the words and the picture are planned together.
Cast
Keep every character in one place, so names, looks and voices stay consistent from the first page to the last.
Teacher's guide beats
Mark the moments a classroom guide will build on while you write, not after the book is finished.
A shelf for every title
Start a new book, change its settings, and archive or restore titles without losing any work.
Step 2: Check
Picture books are read out loud. The studio checks for that.
Read-aloud meter
Scores each spread for rhythm, syllables and stress, with a rubric and common fixes when a line trips the tongue.
Story checks
Page count, word budget, story arc, the refrain, style flags and find-and-replace, all in one panel.
Cold reads and open decisions
Track what first-time readers said and every choice still waiting on the team, so nothing gets lost.
Step 3: Share
Bring the whole team into the same book.
Read it aloud
A full-screen reading view that turns the pages like the finished book, for read-throughs together.
Team and invites
Email a teammate a link to set their password. Roles, logins and an activity log show who changed what.
Take the manuscript with you
Copy the whole manuscript or download it as a text file to send to an editor or agent.
In the works
What we're building next, so a book can go from the studio straight to print and to the screen.
Print-ready PDF for KDP
Export a finished book at the right trim size with bleed, ready to upload to Amazon KDP.
On-screen read-along
Turn a finished book into a read-along that families and classrooms can follow on a screen.
Art uploads and the Daisy library
Drop in your own artwork, or pick from the official Daisy character art, right on the page.
Ask Claude about a page
Built in already. It sees the page text, art direction, cast and book rules, and switches on once it is connected.
