Abstract:

Ever dream of becoming a professional storyteller? If so, this is the book for you! Combining inspiration with information, it shows you how to successfully begin your storytelling career. You'll learn how to sell yourself as a freelance storyteller to schools, libraries, museums, festivals, and other organizations; how to organize your time, office, and research; how to use brochures, business cards, press releases, flyers, mailings, showcases, performer lists, and giveaways to get bookings; and how to prepare yourself for your audience. Props, music, prejudice, censorship, and voice problems are just a few of the other issues covered. Emphasizing problem prevention and solution, this author takes a nuts and bolts approach to the storytelling profession. Teachers, librarians, clowns, actors, puppeteers, homemakers, and anyone else interested in storytelling professionally - full or part time - will want this book.
