PUBLISHER OF EDUTAINMENT & RANDOM AWESOMENESS
LET’S CREATE SOMETHING WEIRD.
We make books, games, useful resources, and experiences. We try out odd ideas and help other people’s work find its audience. Sometimes that means publishing a story. Sometimes it means making it easier to get your work in front of people, learn something, or try an idea of your own.
Based in Alabama. Open to the world.
ANY DAY COULD BE DOOMSDAY. MAKE TODAY COUNT.
A banana only gets so much time. So do we. We’re here to follow our curiosity, do something with our ideas, and help the bunch around us along the way.

Play gameLET’S MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN
We create things of our own, and we create ways for other people’s work to reach the world. These are some of the things we can arrange together. Have something else in mind? Tell us.
Share a vendor space
Let's arrange a Doomsday Banana pop-up or shared booth where small businesses and independent creators can get in front of customers and test an idea without taking on a whole booth alone.
Introduce readers to your writing
We can bring excerpts from authors we support into a zine. Think of it as a literary mixtape: a little of each writer's work, with a way for readers to find more.
Put independent work within reach
Let's bring books, zines, and other independent media into places people already visit. A local business could host a stand, and creators could have another place for their work to be discovered.
Be part of a mystery box
A box of unexpected discoveries can introduce people to independent creators, small businesses, and grassroots organizations. Let's talk about what could go inside and who it could reach.
Bring people together around a film
Let's arrange a screening that gives independent work an audience and gives people a reason to gather. You might have a film, a venue, or a community you'd like to bring together.
Help someone get in the room
A conference, visit, or field trip can introduce someone to people and possibilities they wouldn't otherwise encounter. Let's explore how a sponsor or partner could help make that access possible.
WHY DOOMSDAY BANANA?
Curiosity takes us in different directions. We produce experiences, test odd concepts, explore ideas, and help work get published, shared, and discovered. Some projects become ongoing brands or useful resources. Others give us something worth learning from.
Basically, we’re a company Ms. Frizzle would’ve started, if she couldn’t depend on a teacher’s salary to maintain her bus and she wanted to help adults that needed a little magic too.

THE SANDBOX
Our sandbox gives us room to try things and see what they can become. We get projects moving, then open possibilities for others to take part. Depending on the project, that might mean contributing work, collaborating, or helping with its operation.
Our annual student sandbox is one way into that work. Students can contribute to real projects, bring their skills, and develop new ones.
