A Story for Everything

Praise for Corey Rosen’s Your Story, Well Told “This book will help you to craft your memories with joy and art. Let Corey Rosen teach you how good-humored authentic story sharing, in any social and cultural context, beats those nasty public lying contests every time.” —Nancy Mellon, healing storyteller, counselor, and author of Storytelling and the Art of Imagination and Healing Story “Your Story, Well Told by Corey Rosen is an invitation to enter the theater of living story with a ticket already in your hand. Drawing from his impressive background in film, improv, and radio, Corey uses key techniques and the unbridled enthusiasm of a skilled storytelling coach to discover, refine, and tell your life story to the applause of one or thousands. Everyone has a story—Corey’s storytelling guide offers proven tips, exercises, and expertise to showcase yours.” —Kate Farrell, librarian, storyteller, and author of Story Power “Corey Rosen’s book is a great resource. I know I will return to it again and again for ideas, inspiration, and entertainment. It’s like listening to a good story being told, while learning how to tell your own stories better.” —Samantha Harris, cohost of Dancing with the Stars and Entertainment Tonight and author of Your Healthiest Healthy “I believe you should read this book cover to cover and trust in Corey as your storytelling coach because of his twenty-plus years of dedication to story mastery as a performer and a teacher. This book is his life’s work. The greatest thing I believe Corey’s book can do for you is to give you the confidence to believe your stories are worth developing and sharing. Maybe one day you’ll be sitting in a theater, watching your story as a movie, or perhaps you’ll be on stage, holding people in the palm of your hands with three stories you’re unfolding in the petal structure. The key is to believe in yourself.” —Patrick Combs, writer, director, and star of Man 1, Bank 0 “Everyone is a storyteller; it’s how we communicate, make friends, and go through life. But few of us would dare to tell a story in public for fear that it has to be a ‘good’ story. Corey’s book demystifies everything. His book will help everyone have the confidence to share their story with the world. And the more we hear each other’s stories, the better we’ll understand each other. Get this book; give it to your kids and yourself.” —William Hall, cofounder of BATS Improv. and author/editor of The Playbook: Improv Games for Performers
