For children's authors and content creators
Your stories, with every listener as the hero.
A new medium, new technology, and a new audience for your work. You write new stories in our Studio, built so each child hears their own name woven through the adventure. We narrate them, sell them on your own storefront, and deliver them straight to Creative Tonies, with more players to follow.
Bring your world, not your back catalogue
Your characters, trademarks, and universe are welcome here, and they stay yours. What you will not do is upload a finished book. An existing book has a fixed protagonist and is not built to personalize, so every Mighty You story is written in the Studio from the first line with the listening child at the center. That is exactly why the result works: the child is not tacked on at the front, they are the main character.
What you do, and what we do
You
Work through a guided six-stage workflow: concept, outline, chapters, draft, personalization formatting, and ready. Review each stage, steer it with feedback, and approve the final story. Set your price and share your storefront with your audience.
We
Handle narration, audio production, name personalization, cover art, checkout, delivery to the family's library, Creative Tonie upload, and customer support.
Narration today: stories use our curated narrators, or a signature voice for your storefront chosen from the ElevenLabs voice library. Narrating in your own recorded voice is not available yet.
Who owns what
- You own the IP, characters, and trademarks you bring into the Studio.
- You own the stories you create here.
- We keep our share of sales made through the platform.
- If a story you created here is later distributed outside the platform in competition with it, for example sold directly as a Creative Tonie with a fixed name, a 1% royalty applies to those sales.
The economics, plainly
Example: a 10-minute story at $10.00
| List price | $10.00 |
| Payment processing | −$0.59 |
| Your 70% of the net | $6.59 |
| Audio fulfillment (10 min × $0.09) | −$0.90 |
| You earn per copy | $5.69 |
An illustration, not a projection. Your price and story length change the result, and you can see the exact figure for each story before you publish.
How it works
- Create your storefront. Your name, bio, and links at your own page on Mighty You Stories.
- Get verified. Complete your profile, publish your first story, link a social account, and we review it.
- Start earning. Share your storefront with your audience. Every sale shows up in your earnings dashboard.
The honest fine print
Why is there a monthly subscription?
Writing a story in the Studio uses AI generation, cover art, and narration that cost real money every time you run them, whether or not the story sells. The subscription pays for that creation tooling. You cannot publish, and so cannot earn, without it.
What does the fulfillment fee cover?
Every copy is narrated fresh with the buyer's child's name, so each sale has a real narration cost that grows with the story's length. The fee is $0.09 per audio minute, charged on each copy sold, so a short story costs little and a long one costs more.
Is there a minimum price?
Yes. Prices start at $4.99, and longer stories have a higher minimum so every sale still covers narration and payment fees. A 90-minute story, for example, needs a price of at least $12.23.
How do bundles and coupons affect my share?
When a family buys a bundle or uses a coupon, the discount is shared across the stories in that order in proportion to their price, and your share is calculated on what was actually paid.
When do I get paid?
Earnings become available once they clear the 14-day refund window, and we pay out available earnings every month. Your dashboard shows available and pending balances and every payout.
Can I upload a book I have already written?
No. A finished book has a fixed hero, so it cannot make each listener the main character. Bring its characters and world into the Studio and write a new story there.
Will my terms change after I sign up?
No. The terms you agree to are recorded on your account. If we change the offer for new creators later, your terms stay as they were.
Can I narrate my own stories?
Not yet. You choose from our curated narrators or pick a signature voice from the ElevenLabs library for your storefront.
