Storytelling Q&A

How Long Should a Story Be?

Have you ever created a story only to wonder if it’s too long?

Maybe you’ve written a story and then wondered if it had the right details in it?

This is a common struggle that a lot non-profit communications and fundraising professionals come up against with storytelling. They’re often left questions how long the story really should be. In today’s Storytelling Q & A I’m answering a question from Tracy that gets to the heart of this issue.

Tracy asks:

“Our organization has been doing a good job of collecting stories. We can use these stories in a bunch of different ways, but what I’d like to know is how long should our stories be? Thanks for your insights!”

Great question, Tracy! I’m sharing my answer to your question in the video below.

I hope you enjoyed this edition of the Storytelling Q & A.

As always, I love hearing from you. How have you been using your non-profit’s stories? Leave a comment below this post and share your thoughts.
