Story Impact Magazine

Lisa Towles, Founder + Editor in Chief

Story Impact Magazine is designed for authors who refuse to choose between artistic integrity and professional success. Each issue delivers an immersive visual experience that bridges inspiration with actionable market intelligence—featuring contemporary literary work, high-level industry insights, and curated author showcases that elevate voices worth amplifying.

We examine both sides of the writing life: the solitary craft of creation and the public architecture of platform, visibility, and strategic audience engagement. Our editorial approach provides the context authors need to navigate industry shifts while maintaining creative authenticity.

This is not a content feed. Story Impact Magazine is a deliberate counterpoint to the scroll—an editorial environment where discovery is intentional, engagement is sustained, and authors are encountered with the depth and attention their work deserves.

At its core, we explore where books meet meaning, where authors encounter purpose, and where the business of publishing serves the art of storytelling.
