Our storyteller, Natasha Gostwick, and Producer Hugh Fraser
Storynory is an online treasure trove of audio stories. Here you will find a mixture of new stories, fairy tales, and specially adapted myths and histories. We also provide a sprinkling of verse.
We have published an audio story every week since November 2005. Storynory has grown and grown in popularity, and now around a quarter of a million mp3 files are downloaded every month from our servers. Our stories are listened to by families, and in schools, nurseries and hospitals the world over. Services such as iTunes make it easy to transfer our audio onto iPods and other portable players.
Our stories are read by Natasha Gostwick and her clear story-telling voice has won a place in the hearts of children and adults all over the world. Many listeners tell us that their children “love Natasha”. She records the stories with her producer, Hugh Fraser, a former BBC radio journalist. Much hard work goes into the preparation of the performances, and we aim to make each reading special.
Our biggest audience is in the United States (30% of site visitors and 65% of our iTunes audience), but we have listeners just about everywhere. Storynory is catching on in Korea, Japan and China. Two Japanese fans recently launched storynory.jp with key words translated into Japanese.
Our stories will always be free. Currently some of our stories carry sponsorship messages for a limited time from AudibleKids (a subsdiary of Amazon).
The founders of Storynory are Matthew Lynn and Hugh Fraser - the co-owners of a Blog Relations , an online consultancy that can help you build your reputation via online media. Storynory is a prime example of how it’s done.
