Become a better storyteller!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Storytelling Coach: How to Listen, Praise, and Bring Out People's Best (American Storytelling) (Paperback)
At storytelling festivals around the country, I have overheard storytellers--some librarians or teachers, but many just people who want to hone their skills spinning a story--recommend this book to each other. It is a very nurturing treatment of the hurdles to effective oral communication. Even preachers and insurance agents will benefit by its advice.

This review is from: The Storytelling Coach: How to Listen, Praise, and Bring Out People's Best (American Storytelling) (Paperback)
Great advice and beautifully written and organized too. Vivid stories from various storytelling traditions and from the author's experience clarify his points. I'm enjoying it and learning a lot about coaching storytellers, too.
