We publish through the Kindle Singles program, usually. Our stories are all nonfiction. They are between 5,000 and 30,000 words, and they generally cost about $1.99….By nonfiction narrative we usually mean stories that are either some sort of adventure or mystery–some set of characters unraveling a set of events, and they’re real characters and the stories are fact-checked. So these are really like short, nonfiction books.
