Here's the thing:

This world needs new stories. Good ones. The sort that challenge us to the core and stir our souls. The sort that carry us through time and space to rediscover truths long forgotten. Stories that wake us up. That paint a vision of what could be. That give us the courage to face our demons. That make us laugh and cry.

But great stories don't create themselves. They come from somewhere. From someone.

Here's another thing:

Great storytellers don't emerge in isolation. They are formed in community, often with the encouragement and feedback of a few creative friends. Think C.S. Lewis and Tolkien.

All that being said, we believe it's time to build a creative community that serves the next generation of great storytellers.

So, welcome to STORYFOLK – a gathering of young writers, illustrators and digital creators.
