2023 was a year of extreme highs and lows, we’re still here thanks to your amazing support.
As I reflect on 2023, it seems like a whirlwind. Along with all the hardship and struggle came moments of staggering success and joy. These moments always confirm that we are doing something special, and they motivate us to keep going.
In 2023 we released a whopping 32 new titles and 32 audiobooks. Combining all formats, we sold about 10,000 books! Not too bad for a scrappy indie publisher!
