Are You a Storyteller? Join NSN!

Would you like to learn how the art of storytelling can improve your business? Do you need to sharpen your storytelling skills? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then you should be a member of the National Storytelling Network (NSN), whose purpose is to advance the power of storytelling to enrich people's lives.



NSN serves the storytelling community in a number of ways:
  • The National Storytelling Conference, which delivers material appealing to attendees' interests.
  • Two events during The National Storytelling Festival, the annual storytelling gathering in Jonesborough, Tennessee: Stories Work, a series of storytelling workshops, and National Story Night, a concert of stories.
  • Storytelling, the organization's magazine, published five times annually, reporting on trends, news, and special events.
  • Grants to emerging storytellers, master yarn spinners, and storytelling projects
