So. You're tempted. You're interested or you wouldn't be here. That's a good sign! Throw caution to the wind and pitch your story here. We need three things which we'd like you to leave on this page: 
  1. Your contact information
  2. A written synopsis of your true story--250 words or less. You don't have to completely flesh out your story until you're ready to tell it; however, we need to have a basic idea of your story content. When crafting your content, please take into account that this event is open to those 12-years-old and up.
  3. A recorded, 2-minute synopsis of your true story. This will help tell us if you've got the storytelling mojo, even if it's not fully-developed mojo. We suggest you write out what you're going to say before you record it. If chosen, you'll eventually tell a memorized, 5-minute story on May 7 at our SpokenStorySlamKC event. 
Here are some helpful tidbits:
  • Tell us the actual story. You might be tempted to entice us with a cliffhanger, but resist the temptation. Give us a sense of the arc of your story and include any parts about how it may have changed you.
  • Visit https://themoth.org/share-your-story/storytelling-tips-tricks for their great storytelling tips. The Moth is the master, and we've borrowed their template with their permission and encouragement. 
  • Here's a mandate from The Moth that we take as our own: Please use our stage to practice civility and respect. Please don't include racism, homophobia, misogyny or any form of hate speech. 

                Finally, we believe every person has a story worth telling. Give us what you've got!
