History
editThe company was founded by David Thomas Roberts in 2012 to counter liberal publishers, saying:
For a long time the left was the champion of free speech. Look at the McCarthy era and look at the protesters in the sixties, in the Vietnam era. But today I think it’s mostly the conservative voices that are silenced...When you walked into a publishing conference, it was like walking into a Star Wars bar, with those creatures. My god. I couldn’t tell a man from a woman at those events."[1][importance?]
In July 2021,the company began publishing a 12-book series Violent But True Bedtime Stories.[2]
In 2023, the company sponsored the "Rally against Censorship" at the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center.[3][4]
