A short story I wrote about the death of my 3x great grandfather, James Allan and how it affected his wife, Mary, has been accepted into the tenth edition of BACKSTORY. I am very excited and happy that Mary and James's story will be read by many more.
What is Backstory?
Backstory is a Swinburne University journal open to all writers of history. We are interested in telling stories from the past, and in particular voices that may have been overlooked. We publish fiction, poetry, non-fiction, interviews, reviews, essays and academic articles. Stories do not have to centre around people, they can also be focused on object, time or place. We have aimed to create an online and print-on-demand publication that is modern, diverse and open-minded at the same time as featuring content that is richly rooted in the past. We are a historical journal with an eye on the future.
