They offer a web-based publishing engine that allows authors, publishers, and enterprises to create books in print and EPUB formats and have those books distributed online and in brick-and-mortar stores through partnerships with Amazon,[2] Barnes & Noble,[3] Ingram, and others. In 2013 FastPencil was acquired by Courier Corporation, but was reacquired in May by its co-founder, Steve Wilson, after Courier's acquisition by R.R. Donnelley in 2015.[4][5] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Reid|first1=Calvin|title=Publishing Start-Up Review, Mid-2015|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/digital/content-and-e-books/article/67748-new-developments-at-digital-new-ventures.html|website=Publishers Weekly|accessdate=30 August 2015}} 2. ^{{cite news|last=Ha|first=Anthony|title=FastPencil Wants to Help Aspiring Authors Write and Publish Their Books|url=https://www.nytimes.com/external/venturebeat/2009/07/15/15venturebeat-fastpencil-wants-to-help-aspiring-authors-wr-80056.html|accessdate=9 March 2014|newspaper=The New York Times|date=15 July 2009}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Barnes & Noble and FastPencil Announce Agreement|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/53207-barnes-noble-and-fastpencil-announce-agreement.html|work=Publishers Weekly|accessdate=9 March 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Courier Acquires FastPencil|url=https://www.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20130430-916016.html|work=Wall Street Journal|accessdate=9 March 2014}} 5. ^{{Cite web|title = Publishing Start-Up Review, Mid-2015|url = http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/digital/content-and-e-books/article/67748-new-developments-at-digital-new-ventures.html|accessdate = 2015-08-30}} External links
