No experience is necessary, and the only prerequisite is an interest in stories and other people. You will be valued, respected, and treated as an equal your entire time with us, regardless of whether you are just dipping a toe or have told stories professionally for decades.
We don't care what kind of storyteller you are or hope to become. Personal narrative teller? Video game designer? Folktale aficionado? Graphic novelist? Corporate presenter? Journalist? Juggler? Dad telling bedtime tales? It's all storytelling to us.
