The Goruck Challenge

Our staff members work behind-the-scenes, creating our books, editing the pages, designing the layout, or helping the office and company run smoothly from all departments.

While we work hard throughout the week, we also have employees who challenge themselves outside the office.

Callum, from our IT department, participated in the Goruck Challenge in San Francisco this past Friday, and had been training for this event for quite some time with physical trainers from Corey's Gym (conveniently close to our office).

Several of our staff members have been training at this gym together, supporting one another and continuing to get stronger and healthier through a Crossfit program.

Callum's team was supporting the Green Beret Foundation, a non-profit, 501(c) 3 foundation that provides financial resources, immediate need supplies, caregiver assistance, and educational scholarships to wounded or ill Army Special Forces warriors and their families. 

Check out the Flickr photos from the Goruck Challenge and make sure to subscribe to our blog to learn more about what our staff members are up to along with more info about our new books and upcoming titles, many of which also go to support non-profit organizations that give back to our community.

It Takes a Nation

This 4th of July, we want to take the time to acknowledge our family & friends, the neighbors near and far that come together in time of need and are there for us when we need them most, much like the neighboring communities featured in our book, "It Takes a Nation."

It Takes a Nation: How Strangers Became Family in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina

Foreword by Barack Obama


Edited by the cultural director of MoveOn.org, It Takes A Nation tells the extraordinary story of how thousands of Americans came together to provide shelter, sustenance, and hope to survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Through MoveOn.org's Hurricane Housing website, volunteers brought aid to evacuees by providing housing, cars, jobs, clothes, healthcare, and, perhaps most important, community. Presenting a positive contrast to the national shame that was widely felt about the Bush administration's handling of the Katrina crisis, these candid first-person accounts and portraits are a moving testament to the power of everyday people to make miracles happen.


Have a safe and exciting holiday!
