Hugh Fraser is Storynory’s founder. He writes the original stories and adapts many of the myths and legends.

He studied Classics at Oxford University, before working as a journalist. He spent 1990 to 1993 based in Moscow working for a number of publications including the FT, The Independent and Variety.

In 1990 he joined the BBC where he worked for 12 years on business programmes and various Russian projects.

Hugh set up a company called Blog Relations in 1995 with his old friend, Matthew Lynn. It was a little ahead of its time. Storynory began as a project of Blog Relations when they decided they wanted their own publishing project. Hugh became completely hooked on Storynory and has continued with it ever since.
