Review of 'How to Tell a Story' on 'Storygraph'

If you can, I recommend listening to the audiobook. The stories make more sense when you can hear the voice telling them. 
When I made this purchase, I did not know that "How to Tell a Story" is aimed at prospective Moth participants who tell only real personal stories. It's like stand-up comedy, but instead of just making your audience laugh, you make them experience one of your core memories. If that sounds powerful, you understand why I gave this five stars.
I did not know that The Moth existed, and due to the limitations of my disability I may never attend one, but this book will stay with me for the rest of my career. I have found the advice in it essential as a fiction storyteller. It has helped me understand what makes a story impactful.
