International Storytelling Network


The International Storytelling Network is a portal for storytellers and open to all interested in spreading storytelling ... This platform for networking and dissemination of the work of storytelling brings together more than 800 storytellers from 45 countries on five continents.

When you visit the website you will see that contributing countries are identifiable by flag symbols. If you explore the storytellers listed there is no doubt that you will find story friends from all over the world.

There is translation available (10 languages) so you can read about all these interesting storytellers in English if that is your only language (and reversely folk can read about you in their preferred language).

Australian storytellers are slowly connecting to the network. So far two Vic tellers have listed their details alongside friends from NSW.

If you are interesting in listing yourself click on Australia and then 'sign in'. Once you details have been verified you will be accepted onto the list.
