The Friday Project is the first mainstream publishing company to specialise in producing books inspired by popular websites, explained Publishing Director Clare Christian. A few publishers have begun to realise the importance of the web-to-print market but until now no one has truly put the Internet at the heart of their publishing strategy.

It s great to be able to take the massive creative talent that exists online and bring it to a wider audience.
