Prose,
Human crafted,
with purpose, will always be in demand.
Our belief is simple: good stories—refined, crafted, and shared across mediums by artists and craftspeople—will always be valuable. The means of telling stories is, and always has been, evolving. The business of storytelling is, and always has been, perilous. But great storytelling is good business.
We believe the written word is the foundation of great storytelling, and that the opportunity to adapt nonfiction works into new mediums—such as audio podcasts and documentary series—can lead to compelling stories that enthrall audiences while rewarding creators and investors alike.
“We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.”
-Jonathan Gotttschall
