| Storyteller | Storyteller
- Canada's short story magazine. Back in the late eighties, Ottawa's Terry
Tyo, publisher of Storyteller, asked himself why, whenever he wanted to read short stories, he was turning to American
magazines and books to find them. And what he was finding was magazines and books devoted to only one type of story.
Where was the variety? Although Canada has a reputation for great writers and a wide and literate audience, he
couldn't find a Canadian magazine devoted to the short story that published mystery, or adventure, or even comedy.
Thus was born the concept of Storyteller.
