Guide to Storytelling

I was recently commissioned to write a “Guide to Personal Storytelling” for Story Crossroads. The guide is available now for free to Story Crossroads members. Read more and become a Story Crossroads Member here.

Here’s a little video I made about the guide.

The experience of writing the guide was interesting for me. I have been teaching storytelling techniques for over 10 years and I have a lot of notes for the various workshops I teach. Writing to be read, for exercises to be done without me there to provide feedback, was a whole other ballgame. It felt a bit like playing chess. Here’s what I think people are going to want to know next. Here’s an answer to the question I think they’ll have. Writing a Guide to Personal Storytelling was a learning experience for me, as I hope reading it will be for others.

I have had the pleasure of teaching workshops for Story Crossroads in the past. And it really is a pleasure to work with them. Similarly, working on this guide, though challenging, was a great experience for me, and I’m really proud of how it turned out. Story Crossroads edited it and designed it and it looks fantastic thanks to their hard work.

I hope you’ll check out my Guide to Personal Storytelling. It’s free with a membership. And Story Crossroads has a lot of great events, and an awesome library filled with guides – not just mine.
