How to Tell a Story

The Moth connects us because we all have stories. * Neil Gaiman, author and Moth boardmember *What you need to do, most of all, is feel like yourself. Once you do that, the words will come. * Meg Wolitzer - author and Moth storyteller *There are many reasons I feel compelled to tell stories. Without stories, the past starts to mush together. And that makes me very anxious. Creating stories is a way for me to make sense of life. The Moth will help you tell great stories. * Roz Chast, New Yorker staff cartoonist *It’s because of The Moth that I learned the dynamic range of storytelling. * Hasan Minhaj, Peabody Award-winning comedian, writer, and producer *The Moth changed my brain in the best possible way. Working with their amazing directors, I learned how to share my story in an authentic and powerful way that I now use almost every day as a teacher, author, and speaker. Now, that’s some brain-changing magic! * Dr. Wendy Suzuki, author and professor of neuroscience and psychology at New York University *
