About The Narrative Home

Bridging the study and production of narrative texts in the storytelling boom.

Note: organizations, conferences and publications listed on this website are not recommendations, and there are no affiliate links. This website includes organizations, conferences and publications that are situated in the storytelling boom, either by the topics of their work or by marketing to practitioners in the storytelling boom.

Today, the storytelling boom is hurtling forward without any guidance. Communicators can’t keep up with the ever-changing media, the press is constantly chasing audiences, audiences are being bombarded with “content” and the way we consume information has fundamentally changed.

What it will become is unclear — but what it is now isn’t working.

Narrative scholarship possesses a wealth of knowledge — but so far the practice and study of narrative don’t (meaningfully) meet, and they’ll never meet if they can’t find each other.

The Narrative Home is a digital home for all areas of work taking place across the narrative ecosystem of the storytelling boom — scholarly and practical — to create visibility into topics, trends and events that might be taking place outside your discipline — but near to your work. The Narrative Home has two goals:

  • To give narrative scholars insight into production practices of the storytelling boom

  • To make it easy for communicators to access the research and knowledge of narrative scholarship

The Narrative Home is a project of No Lip Service.
