Create
Shape the story with editing and structure, bring it to life with art‑directed illustration, and design the pages and cover so it looks and feels like a real book.
D’BOURG STUDIO
Publish your children’s book — with someone who’s done it
I’m Jack d’Bourg, an indie children’s author. d’Bourg Studio helps other authors create, publish and grow their own picture books — without getting lost in the process.
Built on the Lina series — written, illustrated, designed and published independently, start to finish.
WHO IT'S FOR
A story, but not a roadmap
Maybe you’ve finished a manuscript. Maybe it’s still scribbles in a notebook and a child who keeps asking for the story again. Either way, the leap to a real, published book — editing, illustration, formatting, ISBNs, covers, Amazon — can feel like a wall.
We’ve climbed that wall with my own books, and d’Bourg Studio is how we help other authors over it — one indie author to another, at a pace and budget that suits a small project.

HOW IT WORKS
Create, publish, grow
Publish
Print‑ready files, KDP and print‑on‑demand set‑up, ISBNs, and getting your book live and looking right on Amazon — the fiddly bits, handled.
Grow
A simple author brand and website, social content that suits children’s books, and gentle, honest ways to reach readers and earn reviews.
REACH FURTHER
Native adaptation, not machine translation
Most indie books stop at English. d’Bourg Studio can take yours further — into French and German through genuine native adaptation.
Real native speakers re‑write your story so it sings in the new language, rather than reading like something run through a translator.
