Catering to a specific demographic of men and women between the ages of 3 and 97, we print everything from kids books to serious stories for adults. Our goal is to bring you on an amazing adventure onscreen and off. We hope you’ll take us up on the offer.
All 1889 Labs books may be read for free on this web site, and versions in a variety of eBook formats may be purchased. Print editions of select titles are also available. We believe in sane copyright, which is why our works are Creative Commons-licensed.
MCM wears many hats—often at the same time. He’s a writer, programmer, illustrator, and the creator of the animated TV series “RollBots.” He’s to blame for this web site. His books are the foundation of 1889 Labs.
MCM has a long history in technology and is active in the Free Culture movement. His writing has been praised by Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, as well as Cory Doctorow, a pioneering author in the world of science fiction.
A geologist turned web programmer turned writer and marketer, Nancy Brauer has yet to decide what she wants to be when she grows up. She’s been writing, drawing, and cracking open rocks for as long as she can remember. Nancy divides her spare time between writing the sci-fi/romance serial Strange Little Band with co-author Vanessa Brooks, working on Tori’s Row and other stories, and helping steer 1889 Labs. Photoshop trembles at the mention of her name.
Nancy lives in southwestern Virginia with her partner, a dog who’s allergic to nearly everything, and two allergy-free cats. She really needs a proper web site. For now swing by Strange Little Band or look up@tenaciousN on Twitter.
