Brian Mooney Teacher Inventory Storymatic Brand

Hi! My name is Brian Mooney, and I made the first Storymatic for my college and high school writing classes. For a long time my students asked me to make more than one Storymatic, because they wanted to use it outside of class with their friends and families. After a few years of listening, I took their excellent advice, and I encourage you to do so as well: use your Storymatic to have some laughs and conversations at a party, and for writing, art, performance, and personal exploration. Most of all, have fun. Happy storytelling!
