I wrote this book because I wish it had existed when I was starting out.

A Guide to Developing Animated Shows pulls back the curtain on how animated series actually get made, from finding the hook of your idea, to pitching, developing, and making your voice stand out in a very noisy industry.

It’s been generously praised by creators I deeply admire, including Joe Brumm (Bluey), Jorge R. Gutiérrez, Lauren Faust, Shion Takeuchi, Chris Prynoski, and Chris Viscardi (and more).

This book is for:

• aspiring animation writers and creators

• indie filmmakers and artists

• anyone with a show idea who doesn’t know where to start (or how to keep going)

I tried to make it practical, honest, encouraging, and human. The opposite of gatekeepy.

If you’ve ever thought “I'd like to create a show, but how do I start?" this book is for you :-)
