Since last October, the people of Philadelphia have been bringing the Short Story Dispensers to life through our Philly Storied City project and we couldn’t be happier with the results. As of today, 10 Short Story Dispensers have been installed in Philadelphia and more than 20 local authors have been published across the city and some, internationally.
This amazing project is just getting started and we hope it’ll inspire other cities to create something local, with us by their side!
