My Story - About Us
MyStory is all about stories being experienced in the places where they are set. Stories that are based around the very bluestone pavers you're standing on, or the graffiti that's within fingertip reach.
MyStory showcases stories by Barry Dickins, Tony Birch, Cate Kennedy and Matt Blackwood. Stories that interweave between twelve different sites, taking you on a self-guided literary tour of Melbourne's laneways. The stories are of loves and losses, of painters and plumbers. Stories of five minutes or 150 years ago.
As an emerging writer I know how difficult it can be getting work out there into the hands of readers. So for me, MyStory is also an opportunity to commission and present a range of writing that's about the city, that's read in the city. And hopefully, MyStory can grow to be a literary map of Melbourne providing opportunities for all forms of writing in this City of Literature; a place where fiction and non-fiction, copy to poetry, and all other forms of text can be explored.
I really hope a range of readers connect with the stories that MyStory has on offer, and I would love to get feedback of your MyStory experiences, so once you've had a go, please leave some feedback.
Happy listening, reading and exploring.
Matt Blackwood
