The name Taleswapper comes from the beloved character from Orson Scott Card's bestselling series, The Tales of Alvin Maker, who had a knack for gathering, creating, and telling stories that moved whomever heard them. The company aspires to do the same by bringing the works of Card, Johnson and Johnston to the big and small screens.

Orson Scott Card is a novelist, playwright, and poet. He is best known for Ender's Game and it's sequels Ender's Shadow, and Speaker for the Dead, adult science fiction novels that are also widely read by younger readers. He remains the only author to win both the Hugo and the Nebula Awards in the same year and in two consecutive years with Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. His screenplay adaptation of Ender's Game is in turnaround from Warner Brothers and will be set up at a new studio shortly. Card also writes contemporary fantasy (Magic Street, Enchantment, Lost Boys), biblical novels (Stone Tables, Rachel and Leah), and the American frontier fantasy series The Tales of Alvin Maker. Card is also the author of more than 20 produced plays and musicals, hundreds of produced half-hour audio scripts, a dozen animated videos, and a book of poetry (An Open Book). In addition, Card has also directed dozens of amateur and professional theatre productions.
