StoriesAboutUs™
Creative Fiction by Artists of Unique Experience
a michaels.adams. initiative
It's not just about the casting. We will never achieve true diversity in media without diverse stories told; authentic dreams from all our lives.
So we started this publishing imprint for creative fiction from artists with specific life experience, with new characters [detectives, scientists, lovers, cowboys, aliens, lawyers, and much more] in tales that naturally resonate the authors' unique perspectives.

Our Premiere Season features the Deaf and Disability communities - works were compiled, designed, entered into the Library of Congress and then commercially published with all profits going directly to the artists.
Upcoming seasons will invite artists from communities including America's foster system and residents of towns under 10,000.
