The first requires a tiny story involving a bathroom trip in an Atlanta mall and a big red button. We were at a publishing conference when we hit the mall for a break. There, in the restroom, was a big red button...in the middle of the wall...away from everything else on the wall...with no label. We were confused, tempted, and finally overwhelmed with curiosity. What would it do?
Red buttons incite action.
We were dreamers/English majors, and we hoped to grow up (or at least graduate) and create a publishing company that incited action. What happened when we pushed the red button? The Red Button Press was born.
The website iheartteachers.org is actually the first project of the Red Button Press, and this week we received official confirmation of incorporation in the state of Florida. YAY!!!
We have finished (sorta) the redesign of the landing page for iheartteachers.org. At least it's functioning now. Feel free to leave constructive and appropriate advice if you spot any problems. We launch officially on January 1st 2014 at 12:01 am.
We also have our official logo, which means we can start buying marketing materials.
Getting setup allows more time for marketing and interaction, so now is the time to join our community. Whether you have knowledge, resources, or suggestions that can improve the lives of teachers or just want to passively watch us work, keep in touch. Follow us on this blog, Facebook, and/or Twitter, and join our community for monthly (ish) newsletters about our progress.
