StoriesAboutUs™
Creative Fiction by Artists of Unique Experience
a michaels.adams. initiative
We realized that we will never get true diversity in movies without diverse stories to tell. So we started a publishing imprint for creative fiction from artists with specific life experience, with new characters [detectives, scientists, lovers, cowboys, aliens, lawyers, and much more] in tales that naturally resonate the authors' unique perspectives.
Our Premiere Season featured the Deaf and Disability communities - works were compiled, designed, entered into the Library of Congress and then commercially published with all profits going directly to the artists. Upcoming seasons will invite artists from America's foster system, then residents of towns under 10,000.
StoriesAboutUs is a place of pure imagination where everyone can imagine being anyone, with characters best defined by what they do – while holistically including as yet untapped worlds and situations.
