Where we are going, where we have been It’s been, without question, an exciting few months here at SSC HQ. We wrapped up the Kickstarter campaign and have been beside ourselves with all the pictures and support we’ve gotten from people who’ve recieved their rewards. Since sending out those rewards, we’ve been busy coordinating delivery of our Supply Kits with partner organizations. Our five Supply Kit partners will be receiving their first shipments soon, and we’re in process of working with some smaller organizations to get young storytellers the tools to help them tell their story. We’ve also been establishing...

It's been a wild couple of months. We can't begin to thank our backers enough. Four hundred seven. That's how many amazing folks helped us more than double our funding goal. It's been a week since the Kickstarter campaign ended, and we're still trying to process how inspired and ambitious that makes us feel. Now comes the fun part. Notebooks are going into production this week. Pencils and stickers are on their way. And shipping plans are in the works. Along with three variations of the Pocket Staple, production will also begin on Supply Kit Edition Notebook 001, which will be...

We’re really excited to get our notebooks out there, and to start shipping Supply Kits to our partner organizations. But we’re going to need your help.

We do want you to give us money, but only in return for some really great notebooks and extras you're dying to get...

Hello friends:   Just wanted to update all of you on the status of Story Supply Co. Things are happening, and they’re happening fast. Last week we finalized all the manufacturing details and put a small order in for our launch product, the “Pocket Staple” notebook. We’ll be sharing this little guy with reviewers and others we hope will help us spread the word like many of you already have been doing. The Pocket Staple will also be the reward if you referred at least 10 people to the email signup. Which reminds me. The referral campaign is only going...

Wow! Let us start by saying you are amazing. We’re only a week into the prelaunch campaign and you've already done more than we could ask for.  You've liked us on Facebook, mentioned and retweeted us on Twitter, and you’ve tumbled with us on Tumblr. The signups from your referrals just keep coming too. Thank you so much. In this first week we’ve connected with many people who have an interest in the future of Story Supply Co. We’ve also received support from some great folks who are making high quality, craft goods right here in the U.S.A. For example, check out these cool Twist Bullet Pencils Jon...
