“Mark's 101 snippets of sound advice are clearly written, touched with humor, offered in a common-sense, easily accessible format. This book is a quick yet worthwhile read, gleaned from Mark's own steady growth and experience as a successful storyteller and educator. Gather a tip or two at a time, or make this book your evening's entertainment; it can become a self-coaching guide for any new or learning storyteller and a great enrichment tool for the experienced raconteur.” --Lynette Ford, storyteller and author of Affrilachian Tales: Tales from the African-American Tradition in Appalachia
Storytelling Tips: Creating, Crafting, and Telling StoriesAs an amateur storyteller, I grabbed Mark Goldman's book after hearing him speak at the Tucson Tellers of Tales in Arizona. If his writing is anything like his workshop was, this book will be a treasure. And it is. 101 tips-most with intriguing and helpful titles, many as questions: “What’s in Your Pocket?,” “Where are You on the Spectrum?” (from teller to performer). This one especially resonated with me as a public speaker/performer wanting to be more of a conversational teller. “What If?” was another that was a great story starter. I’ve done lots of lists of what ifs and yet it never occurred to me to tease out one of them into a full story.Each tip is no more than two pages, with enough prompting and explanations that “show” to make me put down the book and write a short story about one and then practice it using his tips.An educational and fun read, and that’s not always easy.
