What is Story Works?
Story Works is an advocate for the power of stories and storytelling - they can aid our wellbeing, growth and resilience. They enable us to sustain our ability to make our world, personally and collectively, a happier, more just and healthy place. Story Works is unashamedly radical and positive and seeks to aid the exploration of complex, difficult and challenging realities of the times in which we live and share with every part of nature.
To make a small contribution to the resurgence in storytelling Story Works publishes stories of different genre, all written to be told out loud. It also offers storytelling sessions at festivals and book fairs and can provide varieties of storytelling training.

An anthology of fifty stories written to be spoken aloud, they explore challenging themes in a hopeful way, covering global unrest, the climate emergency, and ways of thinking about both to build a better future.
