A home for
my stories.

Borrelli House is the name I’ve given this home for my writing. It gives me somewhere to bring my books together as I work towards sharing them with readers.

I’d like it to have room for more than my own work, too. I’m open to working with other authors, helping develop ideas, and helping promote their work. That might begin with a conversation, sharing something I’ve enjoyed, or finding a project we’d like to work on together.

It’s still early days, and I’m taking it one step at a time.

Hello, I’m Ben.

I’m Benjamin Borrelli, a secondary school teacher from the northern suburbs of Melbourne.

I’ve been writing for a long time, often as a way to express how I’m feeling, but until recently I’d never shown any of it to anyone. It was just something I enjoyed doing for myself. Sharing some of that work now is a step outside my comfort zone, but I’ve decided to give it a go.

I love characters and storytelling, whether that’s in a book, a film or a television series. A lot of what I write is personal to me, even when the characters and places are made up. I’ve never really thought of myself as a writer or an author. I just like telling stories.

The first novel I’m publishing is a way of bringing together all the research I’ve done into my family history. I feel I owe it to the Borrellis to share what I’ve found.

Thanks for having a look around and taking an interest in what I’m sharing. It means a lot, especially when this is all still quite new to me.

Ben
