Gustaf Tenggren, 1923

I am traveling back in time and updating all of my Stor e Telling columns for Storytelling Magazine since 2002 I have checked all of the links, updated those that have new URL's and deleted others that have found their way to the Internet graveyard. Through the summer and beyond I will continue to update the columns and post them on my blog until all of the breadcrumbs lead to the end of 2006. At the end of the blog you will find links to the columns from 2007 – 2013.

I continue to write for Storytelling Magazine but will not be adding current columns until the following year.

Build Your Brand at the National Storytelling Conference!

Designed by Karen Chace

Every year the National Storytelling Conference brings together storytellers, educators, librarians and business entrepreneurs to network and learn from each other. There are pre-conference workshops in the healing arts, for those working with youth, producers and organizers, and Master Classes with some of the best and brightest, and that’s all before the main conference begins! This year, the conference will take place in Arizona and there is still time to register! Check out all of the amazing offerings at the link: http://storynet.org/conference/index.html .

I am delighted to be co-presenting a business workshop with Simon Brooks. Here is a brief description:

Branding, It Doesn’t Have to Hurt!  "Steer" the audience to you. It doesn't hurt to be branded; in fact, it might hurt your business if you’re not. Branding will help your image, professionalism and visibility. Build strength and trust with potential clients; define your personal and business persona. Discover how to subtly create awareness and recognition with your client base and become memorable! Laptops encouraged but not necessary.

For a taste of some of the topics we will cover, head over to our blog piece for the National Storytelling Network at the following link: http://blog.storynet.org/branding-it-doesnt-have-to-hurt .

We hope you can find time in your busy conference schedule to join us and brand your business! Friday afternoon, July 25 at 1:45. We promise, it won’t hurt a bit! Look for the star logo at the top of this blog on our workshop room door at the conference. We will be waiting with lots of information to get you started...and chocolates!

And while you’re in Phoenix/Mesa here are some wonderful sights to enjoy.

From 1001 Nights to 2001 Story Resources: Stor e Telling 2013

Queen Scheherazade 

By Sophie Anderson, 19^th Century

The tale of the Persian beauty Scheherazade is one all storytellers are familiar with, a woman who saved her own life by sharing 1000 stories by the end of 1001 nights. In 2003 I highlighted a website offering these tales in my column for Storytelling Magazine, and since then I have reviewed well over 2001 storytelling and educational websites, as well as individual folktales, fairy tales, myths and legends.

This year I posted all of my columns from 2013. I have listed them all below so they will be easier to locate. I have also begun rechecking all of the links in my columns from 2002-2006 and recently posted the very first article from January/February 2002 here: http://www.karenchace.blogspot.com/2014/06/stor-e-telling-january-february-2002.html. I invite you to return often for more resources as I continue to share my work.

Please let me if you find this useful in your work; thank you for stopping by!

January/February/March 2013

June/July 2013

Below are the sites I offered for the April/May 2013 issue. There are sites to complement the state of Virginia, location for the National Storytelling Conference in 2013, as well as sites to celebrate Thread the Needle Day, Adopt a Cat Month, Canada Day, Cow Appreciation and Yellow Pig Day, and two previous blogs to help you slide into summer! So much to celebrate and so little time!

October/November/December 2013
October is apple picking time in the USA so there is a basketful of apple tales and of course, resources for Halloween. In addition, November is National Novel Writing Month so there are sites with information to help you travel the publishing road, along with stories to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope you find something to add to your repertoire.
