Beginner Pathway · Introductory Clinic

Could storytelling be your next chapter?

Explore what digital storytellers really do, where AI belongs in the process, and which strengths you may already bring to the work.

Before you begin

A clear first look at the work behind the story.

This Clinic is for people who are curious about digital storytelling but do not yet know whether it is for them. There is no assumed experience and no promise of effortless income—only a practical introduction to the field and the craft.
