Additional DartFrog Inspired Programs
Programs, platforms, and tools designed to support authors, books, and reader discovery.
BrightLeaf Reviews
BrightLeaf was built to fix the long wait times and high cost of children’s book reviews. Our reviews, written by named Big 5 published children’s authors and illustrators, are delivered in 7 days at roughly one-third the cost of most review services.
The First Stories Prize
A children’s picture book award program created to address what’s broken in traditional competitions—slow timelines, too many winners, and costs that add up quickly.
The Book Club Prize
A seasonal literary prize designed to help winning books get discovered and exposure to hundreds of thousands of readers through Bookclubs.com.
PubBound
PubBound is a purpose-built platform for publishers, designed to streamline every stage of the publishing process—from project management and smart forms to automated royalty reporting. Built by publishers, for publishers, it replaces scattered tools with a single, integrated system.
PocketPlots
Our biweekly micro-writing competition is designed to test your skills at efficient and targeted storytelling. A new prompt every 14 days, with caps of as few as 10 to as many as 50 words. It’s microwriting at its finest and funest!
