Summer 2008

Welcome to the website of the Territory Tellers, Oklahoma's only statewide organization for story tellers, story listeners, and anyone who shares a love for the art of storytelling. Here, you will find information about our annual festival, storytellers, events, and more.

Territory Tellers offers opportunities to learn the art of storytelling by supporting storytelling concerts, conducting workshops and providing information at professional conferences and local and regional events.

• Find a storyteller. Browse our Teller Profiles to identify tellers available throughout the region. Territory Tellers is not a booking service, and you must conduct negotiations for dates and fees directly with each teller. It's customary to pay expenses and a small honorarium for "will tell" tellers.
• Storytelling 101 workshops are conducted throughout the year in various communities to present the basics of storytelling to future tellers of all ages. The workshops are presented by experienced member tellers and are free to the public.
• Territory Tattler, the association's quarterly newsletter, is filled with tips, book reviews, information about storytelling events, and news from tellers and local telling circles.

The Territory Tellers organization is a member of the Oklahoma City Arts Council and the National Storytelling Network.
