Our ten-year anthology from Palm Circle Press is now also available through The Astoria Bookshop! We’ve had so many great memories here over the years and are looking forward to making more in the next ten years.
If you haven’t heard, we recently published a ten-year anthology with Palm Circle Press. This collection includes stories from over the past decade, along with behind-the-scenes insight from our creative team and storytellers about their experiences, showcasing how we became what we are today.
You can order a paperback now or purchase the eBook. As an added bonus, the eBook links directly to the podcasts for each story so you can listen along as you read.
We’re currently #1 in new releases of drama and play anthologies, so let’s keep the streak alive!

Today is our official ten-year anniversary! May is also Kelly Jean’s birthday month!! Help us create ten more years of stories by donating here to our fundraising drive. Anything you can give is appreciated.
What does your tax-deductible donation support? We’re so happy you asked!
$25 helps provide literary prizes for story trivia at the live shows in support of local authors and independent bookstores.
$50 goes toward administrative fees, such as our Field membership and hosting costs for our website and podcast.
$100 supports the storytellers who commit hours of their time to two story development meetings and a theatrical rehearsal prior to the live show.
$300 secures experienced story coaches and directors who support our storytellers from page to stage.
$500 enables us to provide a professional live stream of the event to broadcast this unique event to an even larger audience. See what this looks like in the video below!
What separates our series is the collaborative time put into each show. This extensive workshop process is a blessing, but the time commitment can also be a challenge for participants and the creative team.
Therefore, as we strive toward a new decade of No, YOU Tell It!, we are dedicated to compensating all of the artists involved. Any size donation is greatly appreciated and goes straight to the artists.
Don’t have the funds right now? Support our series witha FB like or Insta follow and share our podcast on your favorite socials.
