It's been a wild couple of months. We can't begin to thank our backers enough. Four hundred seven. That's how many amazing folks helped us more than double our funding goal. It's been a week since the Kickstarter campaign ended, and we're still trying to process how inspired and ambitious that makes us feel. Now comes the fun part. Notebooks are going into production this week. Pencils and stickers are on their way. And shipping plans are in the works.

The Kickstarter Campaign for the Pocket Staple notebook is almost here

We’re really excited to get our notebooks out there, and to start shipping Supply Kits to our partner organizations. But we’re going to need your help. Here’s the thing; we’re not asking you to donate money to our cause. Our cause is to sell a product that you’ll want to buy and use, and with each purchase you make, we’ll send a Supply Kit to a kid with a story to tell. That's why we're using Kickstarter. We do want you to give us money, but only in return for some really great notebooks and extras you're dying to get...

We're launching something awesome

giving launch news products

I’d like to tell you about a new adventure I am embarking on. Sometimes, we get an idea that feels like it could become something big. These ideas come at seemingly random times, like while you’re driving or waiting in line to pay for groceries. You may worry that idea in your hand like a stone for a day or two, and then, it simply fades away. Writers and artists have these moments all the time. I suspect people in other fields do as well. But sometimes, you get an idea that seems to capture who you really are. It’s...
