Tools authors write & sell with.

Same instinct behind all of them: build the thing I wished existed. The software authors write in, the store they sell through, and the studio the work comes out of. Each one started as a problem I had myself.

Author's Forge

Book-writing software that makes sense.

I got tired of writing tools that fought me, so I built the one I wanted — organized exactly how authors think, and free.

Local-first — 100% offline, no account required — your work stays in standard files on your machine.
Built for how authors think — Libraries → series → books → chapters and front/back matter, with drag-and-drop ordering.
A focused editor — Focus mode, a dark theme, and multi-tab editing.
Publish-ready export — EPUB, PDF, DOCX, Markdown, and audiobook (MP3).
AI Pro features — Drafting and foreshadowing help, context-aware spellcheck, text-to-speech, and AI cover art.
World-building notes — Tag characters, locations, and research alongside the manuscript.
Free for Mac, Windows & Linux · Pro $20/mo

The Book Market

A bookstore for independent authors.

The usual deal treats indie authors as the product. The Book Market flips it: keep your money, your readers, and your rights.

90% to the author — A flat 10% take — no tiered royalties, no moving goalposts.
No DRM, no exclusivity — Your books, your terms, anywhere you like.
Your readers stay yours — Own the relationship and export your reader email list as CSV.
Custom storefronts — Pen names supported; deliver ePub, Mobi, and PDF.
Author tools built in — ARC rounds, promo codes, Q&A widgets, verified reviews, and a tip jar.
Transparent economics — Stripe processing fees are absorbed by the platform.

Ithaka Studios

The studio the stories come out of.

Ithaka is where the History of Folly gets made and put out into the world. For now that means my own writing, but it's built to be more than that — a home for other authors, for games set in these worlds, and for the creative projects that don't fit anywhere tidy.

Publishing — Editing, cover design, and release — my books today, other authors' down the line.
Games & interactive — Room to build games and interactive stories in the same universe.
Creative work — A home base for the odd project that doesn't fit a neat category.
One universe — Everything ties back to the History of Folly and the worlds around it.
