I’m the writer and maker behind Canto. I take your memories, little habits and inside jokes and write a story around them. Then I work out each scene: what happens, who’s there and which details will make you recognise them.
I use written directions and reference photos to create the illustrations with AI image tools, then check and refine the pages myself. The books here are studio samples. Sabo comes from one of those stories; Bookie helps you gather the details when you start yours.
After you review your brief and pay, I prepare the book and email the full PDF. Tell me what you’d like to change. I only send it to print once you approve it.

詠你
Why “Canto”?
A canto is a chapter of a long poem. Our Chinese name is 詠你: an ode to you. Every book is exactly that. One person, sung about properly, in a chapter of their own.
Your details. My story. Your final approval.
