Mark Cunich - Author

When Mark Cunich’s first child was born, he became a stay-at-home dad with aspirations of telling imaginative bedtime stories. However, he quickly realized that his newfound levels of exhaustion were restricting his creativity, making it difficult to find the inspiration at the end of the day. So, he began writing Story Sparks to make bedtime storytelling easy and fun.

As a child, Mark himself struggled with reading, and bedtime stories became a battle for Mark and his parents. It is his hope now that Story Sparks will help children fall in love with stories and take away some of the pressures that children can face around that storytelling time, due to varying reading abilities. This time before bed is a such a precious moment between a caregiver and a child. Story Sparks takes it to a new level, making it collaborative and allowing both adult and child to share in each other’s creativity.

Before becoming an author, Mark worked as an accountant, a profession he found to be lacking creativity. Initially, the idea of using his imagination to create bedtime stories felt daunting. However, as he created Story Sparks, the process became effortless, and helped Mark rediscover the creativity within him. It also helped him to uncover just how creative his own child could be!

Today, bedtime stories are a treasured part of his family's routine.
