How We Updated Our Mission Statement

Clarity, brevity, and utility were our main goals in updating our mission statement, and our group is incredibly proud of the work we’ve done.

Updating our mission statement is at the core of things that Ooligan Press wants to accomplish in terms of shaping literature and the publishing industry, and our work is still cut out for us.
