Directory of Storytellers
To be listed on our directory, storytellers must be members of the guild and pay $10.00. We are not recommending these tellers, this merely serves as a data source to find storytellers. Every teller has his or her unique style, abilities, and repertoire.
Check out their websites where available, speak to them, and ask others their opinions. Some of these tellers may be booked to teach workshops, in-services and special topic programs to educators, church groups or anyone interested in learning more about storytelling. Contact tellers directly for bookings and /or information. Fees vary and must be negotiated with individual tellers.
