A Professor of Early Medieval History at the University of Leicester, she has published a number of academic articles, and is the editor of a collection on Charlemagne. Her monograph Carolingian Connections: Anglo-Saxon England and Carolingian Francia, c. 750–870 was praised as "revealing, relevant, and a valuable contribution to medieval history and an extremely useful addition to the corpus of texts on this period in European history".[2] Story worked closely with colleagues at the British Library on their major international exhibition and associated exhibition catalogue Anglo-Saxon kingdoms: Art, Word, War which ran from October 2018 to February 2019.
