The RBF Ethos
​
RBF believes and aspires to foster the same belief that embracing heroic characteristics will positively impact humanity’s future through engaging readers with heroic exemplars. In other words, RBF will find and publish the best examples of heroes and ideals with the goal of exciting more people, especially our youth, to become readers and in turn develop into the future leaders we all need.
​
RBF aspires to be on the cutting edge of ‘Exploring Heroes!’ We are all about putting heroic tales, characters, ideals, motivations, and exemplars in print (all forms) and into everyone’s reach. We especially aspire to create readers and leaders of heroic proportions. As a not-for-profit, RBF can embrace larger scale projects than RBE, and in doing so also support other similarly focused endeavors in the literary and heroism fields.
RBF
wants to explore heroes in books that are not forgotten, books that aren’t just set on a shelf and never read. Our books should be enjoyed, should look read, should be read, and should inspire people to do and be more.
Our books are heroes themselves!
