We sold our 10,000th book last night! 🎉

This is all since publishing our first title, FACE THE NIGHT, on March 8, 2022, so it took us just over 2 years (and that first year, we only had two titles).

Thank you all so much for your early support. We will continue to work hard…

Our 4th call for submissions for Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors is open!
