We're pleased to announce that it's all come true. Here's the debut eBook title for our newest project: featherproof remixes. Those are short story collections wherein awesome writers rearrange, rewrite, redefine and reimagine a work just as it’s getting out into the world. We're publishing each remix as an ebook, downloadable to your computer or mobile device. We’ve kicked it off with Blake Butler’s Scorch Atlas, our fall title, because it seems so perfect for the project.
Here's what happened. A boatload of awesome writers downloaded Blake's story "Tour of the Drowned Neighborhood," and took it apart. Some wrote a story using just a few sentences, some rearranged all of the sentences, some deleted bits of the entire book to create a completely new story. Nick Meccia remixed the design into a pure froth of crazy. We asked other writers to try their hand at the game, and even held an open contest. Blake was the judge, and the winning story was remixed by Krammer Abrahams. Congrats Krammer!
But he's not the only one winning a prize. This puppy is free for you to download here and now, so dive in to a remixed Scorch Atlas, aka:
SCROTAL CASH

Also, Vroman thinks we're cool. We think they are cool too. We don't have a list of 5 awesome bookstores, but if we did, they'd be on it.
And keep your eyeballs peeled for the TripleQuick iPhone app, coming very very soon.
