These proceedings contain the contributed papers for the First Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Text (Text2Story2018) held in conjunction with the ECIR 2018 conference in Grenoble, France, on the 26th of March 2018. Four full papers and two short papers were selected by the programme committee from a total of 11 submissions. Each submitted paper was reviewed by at least four members of an international programme committee. In addition to the selected papers, the workshop features two invited speakers. Udo Kruschwitz's keynote is “Users2Story - On the Importance of Understanding Searchers' Information Needs”. Eric Gaussier addresses “Word embeddings, information retrieval and textual entailment”. We would like to thank ECIR for hosting us, our keynote speakers, the programme committee, the paper authors, and the participants, who have made this workshop possible.
