Things to Remember

Before you hit send on your story pitch, review these important items and keep them in mind while writing your story for a Confabulation show.

Your story must be true, about you, and told without notes, props or any gimmicks.

Be careful to select the appropriate city where you’d like to present at.

First time storytellers are encouraged – we offer a lot of support so you feel comfortable and excited to get on stage!

Your submission should include the beginning, middle and end of of your story. You can submit the whole story or an outline.

Your story should be around 6-9 minutes long.

A sampling of great storytelling resources.

Spotlighting some of our favourite stories from the live shows, as well as conversations with the storytellers and producers.

Offered in a range of formats and structures, Confabulation Storylab courses are taught by veteran storytellers and producers.
