Helping artists in the business of art

Flatcar6 Studios publishes books, ebooks, online courses, artist webpages, and a podcast.

 

Our mission is to help authors and artists get ahead by supporting them in the business of making art ~ so your focus can remain on art.

Emerging artists

Coffee Contrails brings together emerging artists, like authors, voice talent, and musicians, to collaborate and create audio adventures, wherever they are located. It showcases their work, provides state-of-the art sound equipment, professional audio and copy editing, and project management, enabling artists to express their unique craft.

Over 80 people have volunteered their time in the creation of 65+ episodes, resulting in over 300,000 downloads. All audio adventures are free for public download.

If you like a story, please consider donating today to help us create more audio adventures.

Help us create new audio adventures!

Unboxing Unlocked Stories

Ten stories, one phone

These are Unlocked Stories. Where a mysterious phone is found and lost and found again—gravitating from person to person, tempting them, compelling them, and changing their lives forever. 

This anthology of local San Francisco Bay Area authors was produced in 2019 with Tom Wang.

Oar Else!

Stranded in shark infested waters, race to shore or find the items necessary for an immediate rescue. Play as a "team" or jump overboard and go it alone, overcoming torrential storms, blabbering parrots, pirate attacks, and simply losing your mind. Horde food for an end game bonus. Oar Else! is a "cooperative" card game for 3-5 players. Game play inspired by Mille Bourne.
