Portrait of Will Schulz

Will Schulz is the founder of Anthra and the founder and CEO of AW3 Technology, a San Francisco venture studio he started in 2020. He has spent more than 15 years building software: as a software engineer and business-intelligence consultant at Gap and Saama Technologies, then as co-founder of Learna, a platform for building and running online courses.

Writing has always run alongside the software. He writes novels that blend philosophical inquiry, mythology and speculative fiction, and Anthra brings the two halves together: a studio that takes a book from idea to a finished, illustrated, narrated edition while the writer stays the author.

He designs and builds Anthra himself: the AI agent that plans and writes a book with you, the illustration and narration studio, the publishing tools and the MCP server that lets other AI assistants use them. He also writes Anthra’s guides and the Writers Academy courses, checks them against primary sources such as Amazon KDP’s help pages and the US Copyright Office, and re-reviews them on a schedule so prices and platform rules don’t go stale.

He holds a B.A. in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Support email sent to Anthra reaches him directly.
