A community for Oral Storytellers

Oral storytelling is becoming more and more popular as people begin to remember just how useful it can be. Many of us are unwitting storytellers, using storytelling skills in our lives and work without even realising that we're doing it!

If you're interested in discussing storytelling or developing your skills, please join us! We welcome everyone, from lurkers to enthusiasts to professional storytellers. Introductions are always nice, so please feel free to make a post telling us who you are and what role stories play in your life.
