Only In Florida

A story slam workshop by Dr. Caren Neile

Learn to Tell Your Florida Story! It's entertainment. It's community-building. It's good old-fashioned storytelling, with prizes!

Come join Dr. Caren Neile as she walks you through the steps of telling your own Florida story, then share with the group for a chance to win prizes—or just sit back, listen and enjoy. No writing or reading required.

This workshop is based in part on Dr. Neile’s book Only in Florida (History Press). 

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
