Calling Gen Y'ers--Share Your Story!

More Than Myth TM (MTM), a ‘grand social experiment’ created to capture and chronicle the most uninhibited and outrageous (but true) stories of a generation launches March 31, 2010. Even cooler? The most legendary stories are guaranteed to be published in a book.

To celebrate undiscovered stories, ‘MTM: Living Legend’, kicks off the MTM search. More Than Myth will give the person with the best story $5,000 and propose a question, "Do you want to get paid $5,000 to blow $5,000 on creating a legendary story?" The winner’s story will be published in MTM’s upcoming book.

What are legendary stories? MTM founder Daniel Tweedall interviewed the likes of comedian Michael Ian Black, poker champion Phil Hellmuth Jr., pop culture ‘I.T. Girl’ and Party Monsters: Cabo runner-up and pop culture queen Kinsey Schofield, eccentric entrepreneur Peter Shankman and designer and Project Runway runner up Althea Harper, who all shared their incredible experiences.

“Life is often stranger than fiction, and those moments make for the best stories” said Tweedall. “From the surreal and shocking, to the hysterical and emotional, More Than Myth gives you the platform – it only takes 5 minutes to begin telling your story.”

Anyone can share their stories on MTM’s website through a simple 3-step process. The top-ranked stories (decided by vote) are collected each month for the chance to be published in their upcoming book.

“More than just making the home page for an afternoon, this is a road to glory – getting your story enshrined in a book” said Tweedall. “It isn’t about having the best formal writing skills, it’s the best storytelling – like you would with friends over a beer.”
