Press Release
IDW Publishing is honored to announce that CEO/Publisher Ted Adams has been selected to sit on the Board of Directors for Traveling Stories.
Traveling Stories is a San Diego-based nonprofit that is outsmarting poverty one book at a time and inspiring a love for reading. Since 2010, they’ve established 7 libraries in book-poor villages around the world and three StoryTent programs that provide free literacy coaching to kids.
“I’ve always been an avid reader, even when I was little. As a publisher, I’m excited to give kids in underprivileged areas around the world the same literary experience I was lucky enough to have,” Adams stated.
With this development, Adams has a platform for sharing his lifelong passion for reading on a global scale and further expanding IDW’s reach in the book-loving community.
If you want to join Adams in supporting Traveling Stories, visit www.travelingstories.org to sign up for updates about the organization and initiatives he is working on. You can also join him in becoming a Reading Warrior and donating $10 per month so Traveling Stories can continue to give children access to books. For a limited time, those who become a Reading Warrior will receive a free Traveling Stories t-shirt of their choice and a free IDW book.
