COLLABORATE WITH US
When we partner with groups on campus, we collaborate from start to finish. We take care of the heavy lifting for the events, including:
- Working with storytellers on brainstorming, workshopping drafts, practicing delivery, managing nerves - any support a storyteller might want.
- Reserving space at the Humanities Center, hosting the live event or helping to coordinate the hosting if you have people who want to host.
- Recording the stories and then cutting, editing and posting them to our podcast, as well as sharing the stories with storytellers for their use.
- Creating promotional materials and advertising the event with the Humanities Center, Changemaker Hub, College of Arts & Sciences and circulating social media posts to the partners and relevant departments of storytellers.

ADVICE FOR STORYTELLING
1PREPARE
Craft your story. Storytellers can speak either conversationally or from a manuscript. Poetry and spoken word styles are welcome.
2PRACTICE
Practice by delivering your story how you would in front of a live audience: outloud and with your body in the position it will be in front of the audience
3PACE
It can be surprisingly difficult to tell a meaningful story within a time limit. In order to respect the audience’s time, storytellers should practice their story three times through, from start to finish, without stopping. This allows you to time yourself and practice how it will feel to perform live.
4PUBLISH
With permission from storytellers, There’s More records live stories for our podcast. Storytellers get the final say about whether it can be published online.
