Some Guild members are available for hire. One of them might be perfect for your special event. Fees vary according to experience and qualification.
To hire a storyteller, contact them directly, or email badenstorytellers1 _at_ gmail.com, and we will ask our members. Many of our tellers are not listed here. Also, we can recommend tellers with specialized experience, or more availability, who may not be guild members.

John Wesselson
John Wesselson has been telling stories since 2003. His favourites were written in the late 19th century and he tells them as written, bringing the author’s words to life again. He loves causing a listener to fall into a story so deeply that afterwards, they remember what sights and feelings it brought to them more than who told it.
