IBS Publications, LLC
Radically honest. Brutally transparent. Infused with humor, metaphor, and satire — books that question conventional wisdom and arm you against fear, anger, hate, and division.
Why We Exist
"BullShit propagators lose their grip on people when individuals are educated, well-studied, surrounded by diversity, and experience different cultures."
Let's work together to stop the proliferation of fear, anger, hate, and division — through story telling that questions everything.
The is BullShit trademark represents a commitment to radical honesty — using satire, humor, and hard-won experience to illuminate the systems, industries, and conventional wisdom that too often go unquestioned.
IBS Publications is the sole curator and distributor of books published under the is BullShit trademark.
Visit isbullshit.com →For more than 585 years, the basic book hasn't really changed. We've moved from the printing press to paperback, Kindle and audiobooks—but the book is still essentially a static object. What happens when a book becomes interactive, conversational and alive?
IBS Publications is becoming an experiment in the future of publishing through the Sidekick Platform—bringing reading, listening, video, podcasts, AI-powered questions and interaction with the author together in one experience.
For readers, it's a new way to discover and engage with ideas. For authors, it's a new way to understand, connect with and continuously create for their audience.
The book isn't dead. It's finally evolving.
The book can be read using the Sidekick smart phone mobile app (Apple, Google) or on a web browser.
Behind every is BullShit release is a marketing engine built to actually reach the readers who need it. IBS Publications' PR and promotional execution runs through Smashmob.ai, an agentic AI marketing partner that handles the day-to-day work of building visibility — from the website you're reading right now to the search rankings, content, and campaigns that carry each title into the world.
23% of all is BullShit profits are donated to the Ma Pesch Foundation — an organization dedicated to continuing education scholarships for high school seniors pursuing STEM degrees.
The Foundation honors Robert "Ma" Pesch, whose selfless dedication to the youth of Stevens Point, Wisconsin — coaching hundreds of young athletes and asking nothing in return — remains an enduring example of community, kindness, and paying it forward.
