The ABCs of Storytelling contains 26 reflections on the art of oral storytelling from Story Coach Michael Williams. Dr. Williams learned the traditional art of oral storytelling during his 30 years in Scotland, where he was a member of the Scottish Storytelling Directory and a popular performer and workshop facilitator. In 2005, he exchanged his teaching career for a life as an itinerant storyteller and story coach, working with adults and young people. Drawing on his experiences as a performer and coach, Dr. Williams shares his reflections and insights on working with individuals, community groups, and corporate clients. He also shares what he has learned from his mentors, including storytellers like David Campbell, Roi Gal-Or, Doug Lipman, Laura Simms, and many more. The ABCs of Storytelling offers tips, techniques, and reflections on this traditional art. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced storyteller, writer, or public speaker, Williams' reflections capture the spirit of telling stories eye to eye, mind to mind, and heart to heart.

These storytelling ABCs are insightful, touching, practical and wide-ranging. A deep philosophy of human connection underpins a lot of wise advice. The book goes far beyond normal ABC expectations - all the way to XYZ! You encounter storytelling with hands, heart, sense and soul. Donald Smith, Director, Scottish International Storytelling Festival
