Only in Florida! Your Story, Yourself (Zoom)

Florida history isn’t something that just happens to other people. Based in part on Dr. Neile’s book Only in Florida (History Press), you will learn how to tell your own story and that of your family, in workshop or performance/lecture format, or as part of a friendly competition.

Caren S. Neile, Ph.D., MFA, has taught storytelling studies at Florida Atlantic University since 2001. A Fulbright Senior Specialist, she has performed and lectured in six countries and ten states. She has published five books, including Only in Florida and Florida Lore, both through the History Press, and appears weekly as co-host of the South Florida public radio segment The Public Storyteller. Dr. Neile is the past chair of the National Storytelling Network and a co-founder of the academic journal Storytelling, Self, Society, published by Wayne State Press. Presented as part of the Sarasota County Centennial and One Book programming.
