Pitch your own story

Did you run out of oxygen 30 minutes before summiting Mount Everest? Were you and your twin-brother split up as babies, and reunited through Facebook? Did you leave your husband-to-be at the altar to join the circus or become a neurosurgeon?

Tell us about it!
Pitch us your story!
There are three options:

• Call our toll free line at 1-877-799-MOTH (1-877-799-6684)
• Use the handy on-line recorder below
• Or call us on Skype (we're the-moth-story-line)

A selection of the best pitches will be featured here on our website, or possibly on The Moth Radio Hour. You may also be asked to come and tell your story live on The Moth stage in New York City!

How it works

You have one minute to deliver your pitch. Make it intriguing. Tell us the who, the what, the when, the where and the how. Leave us wanting to hear more. And remember, your story has to be true.

Every pitch MUST start with your name, your phone number and email or snail mail. We have to be able to reach you somehow. We do not sell or give away your personal contact information to third party.

So, name, contact info and then start the clock. Ready? Set? Go!*
