 PRESS RELEASE« Big things coming this fall!
The Believe In Wonder family is coming out of a year of trials, tribulations, and triumphs, and we’re coming out better than ever! Many thanks to our supporters, fans, family and friends for their encouragement, excitement about the work we are doing, and their continued patronage. In the past months, we have had opportunities to table at great events, and the privilege to speak to groups and students about the importance of diversity in publishing and the need for creative education for young people. We’re happy that we can be an example of how much determined and positive creatives can do for their community no matter their social or economic status. We all have the potential to make a difference. With fall just around the corner, we have a couple of big announcements that we’re happy to share with you.
