About

At StoryLab we’re interested in how stories work, what makes them tick, purr, dissolve, and explode. We’re delving deep into both what stories are and how we interact with them. We’ve tried your typical written storiescoded storiesclickbait storieswebsite based stories, a highly designed magazine and a whole bunch of stuff that hasn’t seen the light of day (yet). We get our hands dirty every Wednesday with a new, original story. If you like what you see, buy an ebook in the store, “like” Story Lab on Facebook, follow us on the twitter, sign up for Experimental Findings (our email updates list), or just tell a friend. You can also support us by funding a Research Grant

Whether you like the stories or not, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

At Your Service,

John C. Rhea
Chief Story Scientist
