Your story. A world readers can see.
Human-led IP development for authors. Story canon, visuals, sound and online presence, connected in your private IP Space.
It starts on the page.
We read your manuscript first. Faces, places, and mood come from your words, and you confirm the story file before anything is made.
Then we find the look.
You review a visual direction with palette, wardrobe, and light. Nothing goes into production until you approve it.
Until readers can see it.
Your approved work lives together in your private IP Space, ready for a launch, an online home, and the next chapter of your story.
An original studio world
One story. An entire creative world.
Follow a silver-haired navigator from the first story premise to her identity, harbor, sound and online home. Every choice belongs to the same world.

Made around your next chapter
Begin with what your story needs.
A single character, a book launch, or a world that keeps growing. We shape the scope together, then give you a clear proposal before work begins.
Identity & imagination
Build your story world
Give your story a coherent creative identity, from what is true in its world to how it looks and sounds.
- IP Canon, marketing direction & creative bibles
- Characters, costumes, posters & maps
- Original themes, character voices & soundscapes
Presence & release
Prepare your launch
Bring the world into the places your readers will meet it, with a connected set of materials ready for your release.
- Promotional artwork, short films & launch copy
- Author or story account identity & content planning
- A dedicated book or IP website
Continuity & care
Grow your world over time
Keep creating as the story evolves, with agreed content production and publishing support, and a private space for the work.
- Ongoing content creation & scheduled publishing
- Account or website maintenance within your scope
- Connected assets, revisions & story references
Start a project
Content and publishing services are scoped in your proposal. Reach, book sales and audience growth are not guaranteed.
How a project moves.
We start with a written proposal tailored to your request. Once you accept it, we agree on the story, the creative direction and the finished work together.
Story & scope
We read the material you share and agree on the story references, objectives and deliverables. You correct our understanding before production begins.
Creative direction
Review the relevant visual, sound or content direction for your commission. Approve it or tell us what to change on your project page.
Finished work
Drafts come to you for comments within the revision rounds in your quote. Final files go into your book's IP library, ready to browse and download.
Your private creative home
A world you can return to.
Your book deserves more than a folder of downloads. Keep the story canon, character references and finished work together, so the next creative decision starts with everything that came before.

Behind Folioframe
A dedicated creative lead for your story.
Folioframe StudioYour dedicated creative lead
We work with authors to turn a story into a coherent visual, sonic and online presence.
A dedicated creative lead is your point of contact throughout the project, coordinating image creation, filmmaking, editing and website development. AI-assisted tools support a human-directed process.
We start with your pages and references. You review the direction with your creative lead, tell us what feels true to the book, and approve the work before it is finalized. The decisions stay connected to your story.
- A person responsible for the direction
- Your approval at creative milestones
- Clear scope before production
Questions, answered plainly.
How much does a project cost?
Choose a package or combine individual services from our pricing page. Listed prices apply to the stated scope; prices marked ‘From’ depend on the scope you select. For special requirements, contact us for advice and a custom quote. We confirm your selection and total before production. Sending a request is free and does not commit you to a purchase.
Do you use AI tools?
Folioframe is a creative service. We combine human planning, editing, and review with AI-assisted production tools. Your project is produced by a person, with you involved at the key decisions.
Do I need an account?
You can send a request and get a quote without an account. A free, email-confirmed account lets you create private book collections and manage your own materials. Share that email with the studio to link a commission. Studio deliverables become available after the agreed payment is confirmed.
What happens to my manuscript?
Your files go to private storage that only the studio, your private project link, and your linked account can open. We share only the passages and descriptions a task needs with the production tools we use, and we never post your materials or your finished work without your written permission.
Where can I use the finished files?
Usage rights are written into your quote before you accept it, so you know exactly where the files can appear.
How many revisions are included?
Packages include 2 revision rounds per included deliverable. Standalone services, custom non-package work and monthly services include 1 round per deliverable. A round is one consolidated set of feedback within the agreed direction. Additional rounds or a new direction are confirmed separately before any extra charge. Existing accepted quotes keep their agreed terms.
What files can I send?
TXT, PDF, DOCX, or EPUB, up to 20 MB each and 5 files per request. A synopsis and a few key chapters are usually enough to start.
How do I get back to my project?
When you send a request, you get a private link. Bookmark it, and keep it private, because anyone with the link can open the project. Once the project is linked to your account, you can also sign in to reach it. If you lose the link, write to renricky50@gmail.com from the email address on your request and we will issue a new one.
Do you draw real people or young characters?
No. We create original characters depicted as adults, and we do not recreate real people or copy other artists' protected work.
