THE TALE TELLER CLUB MANIFESTO (2025 Edition)

A Transmedia Library for the Modern Age

We are living in an era of infinite content and diminishing attention — a landscape where everyone publishes, everyone performs, and everyone declares themselves a creator.
Tale Teller Club does not compete in this marketplace.

Tale Teller Club is building something else entirely.

A world.
A studio.
A digital library of stories, images, philosophies, histories, and futures.

We are a transmedia collective where every project — from children’s sci-fi to philosophical dystopias, from political cartoons to romance shorts, from moving-image art to podcasts — belongs to a single expanding universe.

The Tale Teller Universe.

⭐ 1. We Believe in Worlds, Not Content

Content is disposable.
Worlds endure.

Every channel, every book, every animation, every podcast transmission, every drawing tutorial, every romance short, every Dinfant story, every piece of satirical art — they are all portals into the Tale Teller Universe.

We build immersive, interconnected storyworlds that readers, watchers, and listeners can inhabit — not scroll past.

⭐ 2. We Create Across Mediums, But With One Voice

Tale Teller Club works in:

literature
podcasts
film
animation
music
art
political commentary
children’s media
romance
fashion
philosophy
neurodiversity education

We are multi-genre by design, but unified by a single artistic intelligence:
the belief that stories should be intelligent, beautiful, accessible, and alive across forms.

We don’t chase algorithms;
we build ecosystems.

⭐ 3. We Elevate the Multidisciplinary

Where others specialise narrowly, we embrace the full spectrum:

Sci-fi becomes philosophy.
Romance becomes satire.
Music becomes narrative.
Kids’ stories become neurodiversity tools.
Art becomes moving image.
AI becomes character.

Every project speaks to every other.
Cross-pollination is our method, not a bonus.

⭐ 4. We Honour the Archive and the Future Equally

Tale Teller Club stands on decades of lived creative history — punk London squat culture, Brighton Arts Club, moving-image installations, feminist art, orchestral musicianship, poetry, performance, and the iServalan identity.

We bring the archive forward.
We build the future with it.

Our work is a continuum:
from analogue rebellion to digital mythmaking.

⭐ 5. We Serve the Neurodiverse, the Curious, the Outsiders

Our stories champion:

difference
divergence
complexity
curiosity
the child who colours slightly outside the lines
the adult who refuses to be “algorithmically compatible”

We build worlds where neurodivergent thinking isn’t an add-on —
it’s the engine.

In Tale Teller Club stories, the outsiders lead the narrative.

⭐ 6. We Are a Studio, Not a Creator

Studios curate universes.
Studios expand horizons.
Studios build legacies.

Tale Teller Club operates with the philosophy of a film studio, the experimentation of an art collective, the rigor of a publishing house, and the heart of an independent musician.

We publish.
We produce.
We perform.
We archive.
We innovate.

Our work is multi-authored, multi-platformed, multi-voiced, and deeply intentional.

⭐ 7. We Treat Every Idea as a Seed for Ten More

A single flash fiction becomes:

a short film
a narrated podcast
a YouTube Short
a drawing for kids
a piece of art
a Gumroad collectible
a Redbubble print
a Kindle edition
a song
a performance

We practice creative multiplication —
turning one spark into a constellation.

⭐ 8. We Make Art That Outlasts the Platform

Trends are temporary.
Formats are temporary.
Algorithms are temporary.

But stories with soul — stories with philosophy, humour, structure, feminist subtext, neurodiverse intelligence, and aesthetic craft — those endure.

We build for ten years from now, not ten minutes from now.

⭐ 9. We Are a Sanctuary for Intelligent Storytelling

Tale Teller Club is a home for:

the beautiful
the strange
the clever
the heartfelt
the political
the neurodiverse
the glamorous
the satirical
the philosophical

We write for the reader who likes a wink, a twist, and a breath of meaning.

We draw for children who collect clues and patterns.
We compose for listeners who hear stories in sound.

This is not fast-food content.
It is a slow-feast universe.

⭐ 10. Our Promise

To elevate the everyday into narrative.
To build art that breathes across mediums.
To honour imagination as a form of resistance.
To offer worlds that surprise, provoke, comfort, and delight.
To remain fiercely independent, fearlessly experimental, and endlessly curious.

Tale Teller Club is not here to compete.

Tale Teller Club is here to create worlds people want to live in.

And to invite everyone — children, adults, neurodivergent thinkers, romantics, punks, scholars, dreamers — into a library where every door leads somewhere extraordinary.
