My name is Bernard Corwin. I’ve been a full-time writer since 2010 and an independent publisher since 2014. The Narrative Core is where I write about books, film, narrative play, creativity, and the process of building a life around stories. This publication is for people who still believe stories are worth spending time with, whether that means reading a novel carefully, watching a film attentively, exploring a fictional world, or creating something of their own.
There’s an article in this, but I need to get my head around it before I can write it. On Substack, theses working notes consistently get higher views than other articles, and I suspect it’s because they’re just stripped-down off-the-cuff documentation of stray thoughts, work accomplished, lists of things I’m planning to do next.
Story at the Table is an ongoing project exploring narrative play: collaborative storytelling inspired by literature, film, history, and dramatic fiction.
