Our story continues.

After years of gathering in and around Santa Rosa Beach, Emerald Coast Storytellers has begun expanding west. Our Fort Walton Beach series is officially underway, and we’re excited to continue building a new chapter—bringing new voices, new stories, and a new community around the mic.

Join us at Gannet Creative House — a creative studio space in the heart of Fort Walton Beach — for a night of live storytelling where strangers become familiar, ordinary moments become meaningful, and stories are experienced together, in real time.

Settle in. Listen deeply. Or take the leap and share.

📅 Wednesday, June 24th
📍 Gannet Creative House — Fort Walton Beach
⏰ Doors at 6:30 PM | Stories at 7 PM
🎟 Free to attend — RSVP required
🪑 This gathering is intentionally BYO(Chair) + BYOB — bring something comfortable, bring something to sip, and help us create an intimate, living-room-style storytelling space together.

June's theme: Unfinished Business
There are stories that settle neatly into the past.
And then there are the ones that keep tapping at the window.
This month’s theme is Unfinished Business: stories about unresolved endings, abandoned plans, unanswered questions, and the strange way certain moments refuse to loosen their grip on us.
The things we meant to say.
The lives we almost chose.
The parts of ourselves still waiting to be met.
Because sometimes closure is overrated. And sometimes the unfinished parts are where the real story begins.

Want to Tell Your Story?
When you register, you’ll have the option to sign up for the mic in advance — recommended if you already feel the nudge.
Didn’t sign up ahead of time?
Find Breanna when you arrive and she’ll add your name to the bag.
Writers, poets, musicians, performers, and first-timers are all welcome. Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, true stories, or something in between — if it matters to you, it belongs here.
Stay tuned for the official announcement of our Featured Storyteller!
