Synopsis
The Stonebrook Institute of Higher Thinking is an online home for casual, aspiring, amateur and bored writers of all stripes. Founded by Scott Garner, a former journalist and aspiring novelist now working in the alcoholic beverage industry, the Institute is a place where no one takes themselves too seriously. We just love to write and read and be read. If you would be interested in submitting a post for consideration, please use the “Contact the Dean” link below.
In December 2012, the Institute also became the launching pad for The Sunday Eagle, a weekly feature spotlighting Georgia Southern University.
