About the Studio
Bailey Sends Word is an independent studio publishing choose-your-own-adventure style stories, storytelling art books, and creative multimedia where the otherworldly collides with your everyday to take you on a joy ride.
Always exploring the idea of what a story can be and how thinly we can collapse the line between narrative and real life, the studio produces storytelling publications and projects across print, digital, audio, video, experiential/spatial, and more. However a story wants to be told, it is the studio’s job to tell it in that way.
All stories, along with their visuals and narrative interactions, are concepted, written, designed, and published by the studio. Bailey Sends Word is part multimedia creative house, part micro-press, and part literary laboratory. Award-winning author and interactive storyteller Bailey Lewis owns the studio and creates all of the stories you find here.
