SHINE Storytelling is a storytelling event that takes place in Santa Monica, California. Each month, storytellers tell inspiring true stories on different themes. Some are funny. Some are sad. All are true.

Professional storytellers for SHINE are chosen from some of the nation’s top award-winning storytellers and writers. Amateur storytellers of all ages and walks of life also take the stage.

"It feels like professional storytellers are reading you Chicken Soup for the Soul–-something you may not know you want until it happens...Like having your parents read you a story before bed, SHINE! can have a comforting and settling effect on an otherwise hectic evening in Los Angeles." -Jenna Pittaway, Life in LA
