For Season One of Boss Fight Books, we teamed up with a diverse and exciting group of writers, including an actor, a researcher of Japanese culture, a game developer, a web developer, a novelist, and a game journalist. Jump into a series that has already found its way onto thousands of actual and digital bookshelves.
