Call Me Ishmael, Honorable Mention for the 2015 Innovations in Reading Prize More about this author >
Call Me Ishmael documents our relationship to literature and how it shapes our lives by urging readers to call into the service and talk about what their favorite book means to them. Founders Logan Smalley and Stephanie Kent then convert the calls into videos, with each transcript scrolling on a vintage typewriter, in order to share online the powerful and deeply personal experience of reading.
