StoryBottle Co. See other projects related to this listing. About StoryBottle Co. publishes immersive storytelling regardless of genre. We want it all, whether it’s considered high-brow literary fiction or the pulpiest brain candy. What we’re really interested in is story in its most essential form: fictional worlds that draw us in, plots grounded in causality, characters we care about, and imagery that sparks the imagination. Good stories keep us spellbound and leave us changed. Like the ship in a bottle on your grandfather’s bookcase, each story contains something mesmerizing, rendered in three-dimensional detail. We offer stories regularly online but will also release two print issues a year that feature the best from the website as well as original work.Our goal is to bring all genres together to bridge the gap between what's “in” and what's purely fun to read. This eclecticism extends to our authors, too. We seek to publish a variety of writers—both emerging and established—who represent a diversity of experiences. We welcome stories from all. We hope, dear reader, that you’ll fall in love with something here you didn’t expect.
