Mission Statement

The Moth is dedicated to promoting the art of storytelling. We celebrate the ability of stories
to honor the diversity and commonality of human experience, and to satisfy a vital human
need for connection. We do so by helping our storytellers to shape their stories and to share them
with the community at large. One goal of The Moth is to present the finest storytellers among
established and emerging writers, performers and artists; another is to encourage storytelling
among populations whose stories often go unheard.
