Why I started The Story Cellar

Welcome!

You’ve stumbled upon the wordy, creative hub of Katie Masters - writer, winemaker, designer, ocean swimmer. A woman of many passions and micro-businesses, they have all been united at The Story Cellar, the communal home of professional copy and content writing services, fiction and creative non-fiction, and Provisioning a Sailboat, a sustainable bookshop selling blind dates with books and tea.

Here, stories gather in many forms. Come inside. Browse the shelves. Take what you need for the journey.

Freelance writer, Katie, is turned towards the camera, a small smile. The background is a rocky, storm coastline. Home and inspiration of The Story Cellar
A gentle swell crashed over a stony beach. It is late afternoon light and a little bit milky. The sky is heavy with clouds.
The view is over the edge of a cliff, down to a rocky shore. There are native plants with yellow flowers clinging to the sides of the cliff and an angry ocean of teal at the bottom.
Footprints on a sandy beach. Late afternoon sunshine, some rocks that look warm and a steel-blue sea. The sky is clear.
