Your story deserves to be finished.
Stories don’t fail because writers give up. They fail because writers get lost. Storyboon helps you get your picture book, comic, or screenplay out of your head and onto the page.
The feedback loop you’ve been missing.
Working writers have a reader. Beginners almost never do. Storyboon reads your story and returns one observation about what isn’t working, plus one craft technique to try. Pala doesn’t write prose for your manuscript.
How Pala responds.
When you select a passage and ask one of Pala’s questions, the response is two sentences: one observation about what isn’t working, and one named craft technique to try.
Write in your format.
Picture book pages, comic panels, screenplay scenes. The editor handles formatting so you focus on the story.
You write the prose.
Pala doesn’t write prose for your manuscript. Any paragraphs, transitions, or dialogue are yours to write.

Free, textbook-style lessons on the techniques the Helper draws on. Read what good picture-book writers know.
Page-Turn Promise
Every page turn is a pause. The best picture book writers design what happens just before the turn and just after it.
Want and Obstacle
Strong characters aren’t built from backstory. They’re built from two things: what they want, and what stands in the way. Everything else follows.
Show by Withholding
In a picture book the illustrations are doing the showing for you. The craft is knowing what to leave for the art and what to leave out of both.
One editor. Three formats.
A 32-page picture book. A comic series. A spec script. Each has its own structure. Storyboon knows them all.
