Ask anyone about a book they loved as a child, and chances are they still have it. The cover is soft at the corners. The spine is cracked in the place it always fell open. Someone wrote a name inside the front, in careful letters.

Since launch, we have kept widening the ways a story can reach its reader. First it was digital, a book you could open on a Kindle anywhere, in an instant. Then we added paperback on Amazon, the physical book in your hands, easy to carry and easy to pass along. Each one met a reader where they were.

Now we are adding hardback.

We partnered with Lulu so your story can be bound in something built to last. Because some books are not meant to be read once. They are meant to be kept. Read at bedtime until the words are memorized. Handed down to a younger brother. Set on a shelf where it will still be twenty years later, when a grown-up reaches for it to read to a child of their own.

Digital, paperback, hardback. You can offer your readers any of them, and let them choose what the book is for. Some want the one they can open on a screen at a moment's notice. Some want the one they can slip in a bag. Some want the one that goes on the shelf and stays

A story is worth telling. Sometimes it is also worth keeping. Now you get to decide.
