The Call for Stories is happening now for the 2019 live storytelling performance of Every Family’s Got One (a story, that is) — so start writing your family story today.
Some things to keep in mind:
Your story should capture a specific family memory or moment. It can be funny, tragic, heartwarming, bittersweet…
This is a story about your family that only you can tell.
Bring your story to life.
Just because it’s a memory make it engaging, like it’s happening now.
A good place to start is writing down — word for word — that often-told family story. Once you have the story down then you can go back and add in interesting details and observations.
Need ideas?
Check out the writing prompts.
And performance videos from the 2018 show.
Please help…
get the word out – we want to hear from a wide variety of people, from all walks of life!

OH, what fun! I wished I lived in NY! We have lots of crazy stories in my family!
Me too, Rena! Hey, always on the lookout for stories to share on the Every Family’s Got One blog. If you have any you’d like to share, please let me know.
Sorry, couldn’t find the date it’s due. Would you mind letting me know. If you don’t live in N.Y. Can you still write? Thx!
Tricia
The due date to submit a story for the October show is July 21. If you don’t live in NY, you can absolutely submit a syndicated story any old time to be considered for the Every Family’s Got One blog. Always looking for guest writers!
