How to Tell a Story

The directors of The Moth, a nonprofit organization that showcases people telling their stories, teach you how to select, structure and give life to your personal narratives, overcome stage fright and inspire audiences. Storytelling is an art and a powerful tool that can change individual lives or trigger entire social movements, explain Meg Bowles, Catherine Burns, Jennifer Hixson, Sarah Austin Jenness and Kate Tellers. 

Empathy and Community

The Moth, a story-sharing event launched in New York in the 1990s, has grown into a global institution dedicated to building community and connection through storytelling. Relaying a compelling story means sharing something true with authenticity that helps your audience connect and empathize.
