Thunderune Publishing was founded in 2005 by Author E.S. Wynn as a means of bringing new life into an aging publishing industry. His vision was (and still is) to provide an ethical alternative to the current model and hasten the approach to a future where publishing companies are run by and for the artists, authors, musicians (and their fans) instead of by businesses only looking to make a quick buck.
But no man is an island, and he can’t do it all alone. Here are some reasons why you can feel good about buying books from E.S. Wynn and Thunderune Publishing.
- Thunderune Publishing provides all kinds of free fiction, from the 160+ episode Sci-Fi epic “The Cygnus War” and the “Cybridized Edition” of Pink Carbide to the four weekly fiction magazines (and one daily fiction magazine) Weirdyear, Yesteryear Fiction, Farther Stars Than These and Smashed Cat Magazine, each of which launches a new story by a different (but equally talented) author on a regular basis.
- Thunderune Publishing also provides a number of free educational resources, from the “classics that don’t suck” at Revitalit and the audiobook readings of classic literature available on Youtube and Soundcloud to the free writing resources available on E.S. Wynn's blog and the stock photography available through Wynnstock and Von Singer Aether & Steamworks.
- Thunderune Publishing is committed to the ethical treatment of authors, artists and musicians, and provides not only outlets for free publicity (like Weekly Artist, Flaming Filmreel, and Purchase Progress) but also community inclusive projects (like Fractal Novels, Manifestation Wall and Chaos Grimoire).
- Thunderune Publishing was founded by (and is currently run by) one guy. One really dedicated, idealistic (and tired) guy who puts 40-60 hours a week into expanding and maintaining the Thunderune Network.
To help Thunderune grow (and keep a worthy cause alive!) please consider picking up a gift for yourself (or someone else) in the store! Every purchase puts a smile on my face!
Thanks!
Founder E.S. Wynn
