Storytelling FAQ

Reviewed by Carla Land

This website is very good. First off, there is easily accessible contact information and information about the author. There are no ads or pop ups, and the amount of information here is awesome!

I focused only on the FAQ page, which has a lot of good (unbroken) links and descriptions. There is also contact information listed at the top of the page, which I found very reassuring. It makes the author look more reliable in my eyes.

It also has a fairly recent update (May 2003), which indicates this isn't a forgotten page lost on the Interent.

Storytelling FAQ takes you to a page called "Tim Sheppard's Storytelling Resources for Storytellers." This page contains links to advice, resources, articles, books, links, stories, video and audio clips, and a heads-up on new content that has recently been added to the website. This page is part of a website called "The Storytelling Ring" (http://www.pjtss.net/ring/), which is created by Kerry Mens, a professional storyteller since 1992 who took it upon herself to set up a website by and for storytellers. Almost any websites are accepted, as long as they provide some sort of information for or about storytellers.

There is a wealth of information available through Storytelling FAQ and its parent site, The Storytelling Ring. One must keep in mind that while websites are checked against internal standards, accuracy, authority, and objectivity may not be very high. The coverage, however, is extensive, and provides links from the United States and from England. Storytelling FAQ was updated in early 2003, so is fairly current. All in all, Storytelling FAQ is a good website to bookmark because of its wealth of information.
