First launch and pumpkin lattes.
Hiya. Sloane the intern here. Welcome to the first ever BravoBay HQ Newsletter. It’s pretty awesome what I’ve got in store for you so save this for posterity alongside your Web of Spider-Man #1. This is the place where I’ll give you the skinny on what’s going on around the office. Who got hired, who got fired, who got eaten by hellhounds. As well as the latest book deals and cool stuff that’s in production.
You haven’t been to the BravoBay headquarters yet (spoiler alert: you can soon!) but there’s a lot going on. Two new audiobooks have gone into production, a free kindle promotion, a top-secret look at our new BBHQ Tour. So read on! And I’m gonna head down to the cafeteria to grab a pumpkin-spiced latte. That is if Kit Ryder hasn’t drunk them all. She needs professional help.
Five days. One free escape.
Skyberia above. Fourth Ward below. Meet Prim, Greg, Dom, Kit Ryder, and Thumb in The Edge — free on Kindle October 1–5.

BravoBay?
BravoBay is an independent story laboratory built around a simple belief: great stories don’t need permission to exist.
We are storytellers building the stories we believe should exist.
Author of the Month
S. David Acuff
Oh look...the Veep of Creative Development is also Author of the Month. Again. Anyway we're supposed to tell you he's an award-winning author, award-winning filmmaker, and a former Disney editor that spends way too much time on Instagram. He's got a thing for cheeseburgers and he hates the word "bespoke" and he snores. Feel free to check his book out or whatever. Don't worry, he'll never read this. Byeeeeeee.

Name the mythic question.
Every epic answers one unbearable question — Who gets to tell the story? Who survives the lie? Write that question on a sticky above the keyboard. If a scene never touches it, cut the scene or deepen the question. One line. One throughline. That’s the job.
Your backstage pass is ready.
Arnold Ledger—CFO and Pilot—is ready to welcome you to the never-before-seen HQ tour. A tropical flight deck, gorgeous visitor gallery, a hangar that should not exist on a beach. You enter by dropship, meet the crew and some book characters that work (and lounge!) here, and check out the exhibits… and we’re not spoiling the punchline. Have your guest code ready at the door.
