Stories deserve more than a single format.
Swann and Cipher is a publishing and creative enterprise developing story-driven intellectual property, immersive literary experiences, strategic author resources, and advisory services built around the business and possibilities of storytelling.
We develop original stories for the page, screen, and experiences that invite audiences beyond the story itself and into the world surrounding it.
