We are a small group of creative types with a big interest in the media and a mission to get great content created by smart authors into the hands of quality publishers.
We recognise that the internet opens up opportunities to experiment with new ways to find, share, buy, sell and distribute content, whether that be features, reviews, news stories, cartoons, graphics or other media. All About The Story aims to make it possible for you to do all of those things, easily and affordably.
We’re just starting out and welcome your interest and suggestions. You can talk to founder Julie Starr on +64 21 828 568, email her, or use the Contact Us page to send us some feedback.
