Reading is fun. Reading is magic.
Reading is a great way to make new friends, strengthen relationships and build community.
Books change lives. Art matters.
We're a values-driven tech startup based in LA, California, expanding the world of books and art through ethical and sustainable practices that puts readers and artists first. Our mission? Create a world that reads more and connect people through art and stories. And we do it through a vibrant world of curated book-inspired art.
Storylace brings a new dimension to the experience of reading books. Enjoying carefully-curated art inspired by amazing stories is a wonderful experience that we're passionate about bringing to everyone.
Our Guiding Principles
- Encourage reading and exploring imagination.
- Interlace and celebrate stories, art, people, diversity, creativity and inclusion.
- Maximize happiness and the enjoyment of stories.
- Promote and partake in sustainability and environmentalism.
- Be kind, generous and give back to the community.
We're a bootstrapped independent company and have chosen to forego some paths delineated by capitalism in order to always keep our values true; putting ethics, morals and sustainability first. We do not accept the idea of chasing growth at the expense of fundamental values.
We stand with artists. We're deeply concerned about the unethical use of AI image generators trained on their work without consent or compensation. While we recognize the potential of AI in art, we believe in fair treatment, justice and the recognition of human artists. At Storylace, we're committed to championing and supporting human-created art.
Besides striving to be a wonderful platform for story art, we provide for free a fun social network for readers. We're passionate book readers ourselves and we're excited and prepared to take this dream beyond imagination.
We're happy and grateful that you're here, it's you who makes this possible!
