This review is from: Storytelling Professionally: The Nuts and Bolts of a Working Performer (Paperback)
An entertaining and enlightening look at the world of professional storytelling. Lots of information on what to do and what to avoid whether you're starting out or a seasoned teller. I'd even reccomend this book for performers in all categories. Bravo
