No prior writing or public speaking experience necessary. But stories created for live telling are also publishable, and the skills learned in this course will benefit all types of writing and live storytelling.

If you wish, you can also share your story live at a special 4/27 Flathead Story Concert at FVCC!
OPTIONAL - TELL YOUR STORY AT OUR SPECIAL EVENT on 4/27:
Spring story course Students will be able to share their finished stories live in a free public event at FVCC hosted by Flathead Story Concerts and FVCC's Continuing Education department on National Tell a Story Day 2026 = April 27th!
According to Barbara: "In April of 2023, at the end of our first storytelling course at FVCC, over 65 Listeners (friends, family and Flathead locals) joined us on National Tell-A-Story Day to hear inspiring personal experience stories told live by 8 of our FVCC students. We expect even more story fans to join us to hear stories this year!"
