HSG's Professional Tellers
The
Houston Storytellers Guild has a number of members that are experienced
professional level storytellers. They are qualified to perform
for a variety of audiences. Every teller has his or her unique style.
We recommend contacting several tellers to determine which one is best
for your needs.
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. Of course, they are also available to tell for
your organization or event. An individual teller or presenter may be
contacted directly for bookings or information. Fees vary and
must be negotiated with individual tellers. The Guild itself does not
charge any fee for this service.
