- Per-page story editor with drawing tools, text styling, and drag-and-drop stickers
- Themed watercolor illustration packs like Enchanted Forest and Under the Sea
- Shareable read-along links with custom slugs and audio narration
- Print-on-demand hardcover and softcover books via Lulu
- Subscription tiers with free, Storyteller, and Chronicle plans
I wanted to build something where a kid could actually make a real book, not just scribble on an iPad and forget about it. Fox & Quill lets them pick backgrounds, drag stickers around, write their story page by page, and then order a printed copy that shows up in the mail. The illustration packs are all hand-drawn watercolor sets, which was a whole thing to coordinate. Probably the most fun I've had wiring up a Stripe integration, if that's even possible.

A collaborator you keep coming back to
Intuitive, collaborative, and helpful — Katy knows how to solve your problem and has consistently provided numerous sources of knowledge and personal growth. Katy wants everyone around her to excel and goes out of her way to help people find their strengths. I would jump at the opportunity to work with her again.
Positivity, wit, and creativity
Few people I've worked with in my professional career have brought as much positivity, wit, and creativity to the job. I've found her to be driven, adaptable, passionate, and able to focus on the details while not losing sight of the mission. Her professionalism and empathy make her a true joy to work with.
