Using Storytelling to Advance the UN SDGs
At the JSM Cooperative Corporation, we believe literature can do more than sit on a shelf. Our mission is to fund 501(c)(3) nonprofits whose work aligns with one or more of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals put forth by the United Nations.
We bring together creative minds, passionate readers, and community-focused thinkers to support literary projects that give back. When our stories make someone smile, think, or feel seen — and that purchase funds real change — we know we’ve done our job.
Our Mission
To craft stories that entertain, inspire, and uplift, while channeling 100% of novel profits to nonprofits advancing the UN SDGs.
Our Vision
A global community where readers, writers, and nonprofits collaborate — using literature as a tool for empathy, education, and action.
Our Cause
With your support, we can cover publishing costs, amplify new voices, and sustainably fund organizations creating measurable impact.
Our work is guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with a current focus on Good Health and Well-Being (Goal #3).
The Man in the Ballcap – Read, Listen, and Join the Journey
In the bustling city of A Coruña, a sinister shadow looms large. Private investigator Pepe Miguel, known for his relentless instincts, is drawn into a chilling series of murders that seem to defy logic.
As the body count rises, Pepe finds himself navigating a world of occult rituals, dark secrets, and buried histories. Each clue leads deeper into a maze where ancient lore intertwines with modern crime — and where every decision carries a cost.
The Man in the Ballcap is more than a thriller: it is the engine powering our first major donation campaign. 100% of proceeds from this novel support Mindful Diabetes Inc. and their mission to explore connections between Type II Diabetes and Type III Diabetes (Alzheimer’s disease).
