Story City’s CEO, Emily Craven, has worked in the publishing industry for close to a decade and experienced first-hand the difficulty in getting publishing opportunities or professional development in new media as an emerging author in Australia. Seeing traditional opportunities to find work from the creative industries was shrinking, and the success of Amazon Kindle as it created its first wave of millionaire independent authors, she set out to find a new way through the digital revolution for emerging content creators. Story City has garnered Emily several nominations, significant awards and grants, and a full-time creative career many seasoned writers in the industry don’t achieve. She has a degree in Astrophysics, has trained over 1000 people in interactive storytelling, writing, and publishing, has published 6 novels, and travelled to 32 countries all before she was 30.
