In an exciting development for fans of heartfelt fiction, Marc DeAngelo has announced the launch of his own book publishing label, Raft Books. This new venture is set to become the trademark for DeAngelo’s emotional learning focused fictional stories, each brimming with compassionate messages tailored for young adult readers.

Raft Books represents a culmination of DeAngelo’s passion and commitment to crafting narratives that resonate with young readers on a profound level. Through his unique brand, DeAngelo aims to continue touching hearts and inspiring minds with his poignant tales of resilience, friendship, and the triumph of the human spirit.

At first glance, the Raft books logomark appears as a simple makeshift raft, with a mast and sail rising proudly from its center. However, upon closer inspection, the true depth of its symbolism becomes apparent. The raft is not just a raft—it’s an open book, symbolizing the transformative power of literature and storytelling. And atop the mast sits a fountain pen, a timeless symbol of creativity, expression, and the written word. This symbol is both a personal statement in Marc’s own journey to becoming an author as well as a reminder to readers to embrace their unique abilities, just as Wesley fashioned his own raft in “Wesley and the River Run,” finding success by utilizing his resources creatively.

However, it’s important to note that while Raft Books bears DeAngelo’s trademark, he remains open to collaborating with larger publishing partners to amplify the reach of his stories. Mr. DeAngelo stated that this move does not signify Raft Books as a standalone publishing entity but rather as a visionary author seeking to carve out a distinct space for his works within the literary landscape. With Raft Books, Marc DeAngelo invites readers to embark on a journey of discovery, where every story serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the power of compassion in a world often fraught with challenges.

Whether you’re a fan of young adult fiction or an educator looking to connect and understand students more deeply, Raft Books intends to deliver an immersive reading experience like no other.

As DeAngelo sets sail on this new chapter of his literary journey, the future looks bright for Raft Books and the captivating stories it will bring to readers around the world. Marc is currently working on his second story, and omage to his New York upbringing. Stay tuned for upcoming releases that share the transformative power of compassionate storytelling with Raft Books.
