Update #11: Help us publish Stephen Colbert!

Posted on February 2

In case you didn't already know, we publish ebooks now. Our first one will be out in about a week, and it contains 25 flash fiction stories, 6 haikus, and 3 beautiful pieces of art. 

Now we want to publish Stephen Colbert.

He has a "childrens" book, called I Am A Pole (And So Can You), and we want to publish it as an ebook! Please watch our video, and if you like what you see, share the link with your family and friends :)
