Storyboard

Welcome to Storyboard

These are the stories that power Tumblr.

Storyboard is a regular collection of features highlighting talented creators and their work, as found within and around the massively diverse Tumblr community. Produced by the Department of Editorial, these stories are told with words, pictures, video, music, charts, animation, and more.

There’s never enough time or space to tell every story, but there are many ways to tell it. If you’re interested in submitting a story or story idea to Storyboard, let us know. You might also like to check out other Department of Editorial sites, like Reblorg, Gifwich, and the Election blog.
