The following is (not) a work of fiction. We've all got stories to tell—but how do you make your story the best story? In Your Story, Well Told!, Moth veteran Corey Rosen inspires you to get on stage and tell your story. Using the best storytelling techniques from improvisational theater, Rosen designs an accessible guide for all ages and skill levels. Crafted to help ordinary people tell extraordinary stories, this laugh out loud handbook covers everything from how to tell a good story to going off script.

From brainstorming and development to performance and memorization techniques, you'll learn how to tell a good story with a variety of structures and editing approaches that bring out your best story; improv exercises to stimulate creativity without feeling foolish; and quick and easy lessons on building stories to tell.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Joe Hempel, a total eighties' kid, had a fascination with an eclectic array of shows that would later shape his performances in the audiobook world-shows like Alf, Night Court, Tales from the Crypt, and WWF Superstars. For over a decade Joe honed his acting skills as a referee in professional wrestling and inspired people as a NASM certified personal trainer and endurance coach. Combined with his animated personality and a love for reading, becoming an audiobook narrator was a natural step. Best known for his captivating, rich narrations and uncanny ability for pulling listeners into an immersive experience, Joe has entertained listeners with over 100 audiobooks ranging from horror and mystery to science fiction, romance, and personal development. Joe still lives in Cincinnati with his son Zach, and enjoys running marathons and bringing words on a page to life. Joe is also the winner of the 2018 ABR Listeners Choice Award for Horror.
