Now, we’re bringing that same magic online to reach writers worldwide.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your craft, we've got you covered. We believe that every writer deserves the tools, support, and space to bring their story to life.
The Story House began as a cozy bookshop in Lisbon called Fable, where writers and creatives gather for sold-out workshops, weekly Writers’ Hours, and creative connection.
At The Story House, we believe great writing doesn’t require a graduate degree or anyone’s permission. We bring world-class education from bestselling authors and publishing professionals into an inclusive, welcoming space where every writer belongs.
