About

At StoryLab (the company behind 8wordstories.com) 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're always experimenting, failing, trying new things, staggering back to get our bearings, and pushing forward again.
