How Inklings works

From their imagination to a real book in their hands.

  1. 1

    Parent makes the account

    You sign up with email — no credit card. Add your child's first name and age.

  2. 2

    Your child meets Sparky

    Sparky greets them in the kid Studio. Voice-first, with giant tap-buttons. No reading needed.

  3. 3

    They build a character family

    Photograph a stuffed animal, draw a hero, or describe one out loud. Inklings turns each into a starring character with a locked illustration seed so they look the same in every story.

  4. 4

    They write a five-act story

    Beginning, problem, adventure, resolution, celebration — Sparky walks through each act with simple branching choices. Never an empty text box.
