I'm David Crabb: storyteller, coach & writer. I've been helping people tell their true personal stories for over 12 years. As a storyteller and speaker, I've been featured on The Moth, NPR & Buzzfeed. As a published memoirist, I have extensive experience in what it takes to make a story work on the page. Whether your goals are personal, professional or artistic, I can help you craft compelling narratives out of real-life experiences in many mediums and for a wide variety of purposes.

STORY MEGA-MINE
In February I’ll be teaching a new storytelling workshop called “STORY MEGA-MINE,” a one-day version of my popular 2-part “Story-Mining” workshop, designed to help nonfiction storytellers & writers find new material.
Whether you’ve never crafted a personal story or you’ve told a thousand stories and think there’s nothing left in the tank, this workshop will run you through a gamut of fast, fun personal inventories and games that will leave you with a shortlist of stories that you’ll be excited to work on.
Many of these exercises I’ve used myself to generate stories I’ve told on NPR, Buzzfeed, Risk!, The Moth & in my memoir & audiobook BAD KID.
This workshop is 4 hours on Sunday FEB 11th (11am-3pm) for $100. Email me for info and to enroll.
