A studio for the people who teach and make stories

Computational tools for writers, teachers, and the students who become both.

Craft judgments a master reader makes by feel — turned into instruments that show their work. Here's one, live. Paste a paragraph.

The Script Doctor

28 storytelling traditions — Aristotle's Poetics to Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag — formalized into runnable diagnostics.

27%→78%

Causal binding — the share of scenes that cause the next one (BUT / THEREFORE) instead of just following it (AND THEN). One real screenplay, draft 1 → draft 2, after the engine's revision roadmap.

Send a scene, name two master creators, and get back a dialectical consultation that ends in one concrete prescription — plus the numbers: what you could reorder without a reader noticing, which scenes earn their place.

WriteLens

The engine behind the box above.

Instant read on any draft — clarity, persuasiveness, structure, and where the facts get shaky. The gut-check before you publish, or before you hand it back to a student.

The Course Organism

A whole teaching practice, run as a living system.

Real courses (comp & lit), rubrics, feedback banks, grading — generated and kept in sync from a two-date config. Same engine, many skins: a seminar, a homeschool, even a D&D campaign where students read Poe as an archetype.

Studium

A daily face of the classics.

One canonical object a day, small enough to hold. Today: the wrath of Achilles — paired with the film that rhymes with it. A small daily reading ritual, sized for the phone already in your hand.

Speech Score

Ableton, but for the voice.

A real, working instrument — and it plays right in your browser. Voices are lanes, lines are clips, and a playhead performs a scene in real neural voices — four scores already, from Shakespeare to Macbeth's witches, plus a live mode where a human performs one lane and AI holds the rest on the beat.

Palimpsest

Old maps, stacked under the present one.

The vision: a modern map with historical maps georeferenced and layered beneath it, so one time-slider drags a place back through the centuries — the old showing through the new. Early — the plan and the sources, not a live map yet.

See the vision →

Built at the intersection almost nobody works at.

The studio is run by an MFA in creative writing who builds and ships real software — and has spent years making the tools a working writer and teacher actually needs, then teaching real students with them.

The writing world rarely sees the engineering. The tech world rarely sees the craft. This is the place they meet — a solo studio built the way the great ones were: one person who can do every job, building the tools, scaling the vision without losing it.

Everything here is real and in use. It just never had a door you could walk through. Now it does.

These are opening one at a time. Tell me which you'd use — you'll be first through the door, and I'll send the thing itself, not a newsletter.
