Organizations I Belong To
It takes a lot to be a Storyteller nowadays. Gone are the times when a traveling bard only needed her harp, some good shoes, and a repertoire of stories. Here are some of the links and resources that have helped me. I hope you will also find them useful. If you would like to suggest additional sites, please contact me.
