You know that feeling you get when a good true-life tale grabs you right from the start? You can't stop turning the page — because you realize incredible things happen to real people — and it's hard to believe that what you're reading is non-fiction. That is the kind of story we like to tell. Epic writers travel the world searching for encounters with the unknown. Wartime romance, unlikely savants, deranged detectives, gentlemen thieves, and love struck killers: stories that tap into the thrill of being alive. Epic stories will debut on Medium, a new venture by Twitter founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone. Medium is a platform built for ideas that should last. And that's what Epic aims for: stories worth remembering. Welcome aboard.
