My story
Hi, I’m Martin.
I’m a freelance writer, former journalist, and digital marketing expert. The story I just told you, is painfully real, but it’s not only my story. I’ve noticed so many people jumping at the last moment because they’ve been reading something so exciting that it engulfs them. Unfortunately, the stories that we use to escape our daily problems and transfer into a more fantastic world for a while are too long. Sadly, our free time, on the other hand, is too short. We always get to the most exciting part, right when we have to get off the public transport, we have to go back to work, we have to pick up our kids or do some other chore. With our overbooked schedules, we often read a book for several months. When we get to the end, we barely remember the beginning.

In this situation, many people prefer to just scroll mindlessly through their Facebook feed. I did the same at first. But at one point, I noticed that all I did is scrolling down. I didn’t learn anything, and I didn’t enjoy it. Scrolling through Facebook to stumble upon something interesting, only to find it when I have to leave it unread because I need to continue my work, defeats the purpose of the action.
That’s where the Ten Minutes Read idea came from. A collection of short stories and articles that will fill with pleasure the short free time you have. They will replace the mindless scrolling through social media with meaningful material. In ten minutes, you will enrich your knowledge, understand a public issue, or just enjoy a beautiful fictional story.
Every week a new exciting article or story will enrich your day. My years as a journalist taught me how to transfer long and tedious subjects into entertaining and comprehensible short pieces anyone can enjoy. Countless hours of doing mindless chores, exercising, or riding a bike allowed me to create fascinating stories, charming characters, complex villains, astonishing worlds, and exciting plots. I want to share them with you for free. I don’t wish for these fantastic worlds to die out in my memories and to be seen only by me.
Have a stroll in my library and read some unique, exciting stories. Or get a deeper understanding of the world around you with my fascinating articles.
