Featherproof Books is a small, independent publisher based in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 2005 by Jonathan Messinger and Zach Dodson. They publish perfect bound novels, short story collections and other works, and offer "mini-books" of short stories and novellas for free download. The publisher employs "a dose of humor" in their work, the founders stating that they are "dedicated to the small-press ideals of finding fresh, urban voices ignored by the conglomerates."
Featherproof Books started in March, 2005 using funds raised from the sale of Zach Dodson’s car. Featherproof's first title was The Enchanters vs. Sprawlburg Springs by Brian Costello, released in December, 2005, with the second, Sons of the Rapture by Todd Dills having been released in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“With a few exceptions, the critics of children’s books are remarkably lenient souls.... Most of us assume there is something good in every child; the critics go from this to assume there is something good in every book written for a child. It is not a sound theory.”
—Katharine S. White (1892–1977)
