Harness the long-lost ritual of seductive storytelling
“Be willing to integrate your personal story into the history of your business and you will have a very powerful formula for seducing and converting new target markets.”
Maureen Carlson’s Delightful Storytelling and Demos at Fandango
What a creative way to tell stories.
“The first evening we were treated to one of her famous Storyclay® Tellings. She weaved a delightful audience participatory tale about the little guy in the picture above. She constructed him as the story unfolded. She had everyone laughing out loud and extremely happy to be entertained by this master story teller. At the end someone in the audience took the purple Weefolk® home to live with them. Thanks to Tanya Johnson for his photo.”
Storytelling Festival April 23-25

Thoughts on Transmedia Storytelling, or, Is It Right for Every Story?
“If every story were multi-arc, multimedia, multi-point of entry, multi-everything, that would be akin to a diet of all reality television all the time. Not every story or idea can — or should! — support a multi-pronged existence. ”
An excellent look at transmedia storytelling.
