Story Machine
Story Machine brings books to life: on the page and out in the world.
They have created shows for chip shops and Antarctic huts, abandoned factories, parked cars and festival marquees. They’ve toured shows across the UK and made shows with Arts Council England, British Antarctic Survey, MAN Booker Prize, Granta Books, National Centre for Writing, and Penguin Random House.
Story Machine has been an independent entity since 2018, creating live experiences that engage, surprise and delight.
In 2019 they started offering support to writers including manuscript assessment and coaching. In 2020 they acquired Gatehouse Press and started to publish exciting new writers. In 2025 Story Machine continues to seek out new ways to support artists and to celebrate the power of the written word
