Story Swap Genre Storytelling Series



JSAC Members from various Storytelling groups around California will be telling stories at these events, held once each month on the third Wednesday of the month at 7PM Pacific Time.  Each event will highlight stories from different genres, such as Personal, Folktale, Historical, Tall Tale, Myth, Fable, Fantasy, and more.  Stories will be approximately 10 minutes long.
 
The first event was held on August 19, 2020 and featured Personal Stories.  Below is the upcoming schedule, as well as the deadline for Teller Nominations from their Swap Group to participate.

As of August 2021 this is now a SAC MEMBER BENEFIT EXCLUSIVE!  That means that SAC members are free.  If YOU want to attend for free, join SAC first!

All others will be asked to purchase a ticket for at least $5 in order to get the log-in details.  Consider becoming a member of SAC, as if you attend six of these in the upcoming series, you've covered your membership fee!  And there are many other benefits, as well.  See our "JOIN SAC" page for details.

As noted above, there will be a minimum ticket price of $5 to attend starting in August 2021 for Non-SAC Members.   SAC will be also be compensating the tellers $50 for their efforts, so purchasing a ticket of a higher amount is always appreciated to help cover that honorarium expense.

If you are a Storyteller interested in telling on an upcoming Genre Stories monthly event, please contact your Storytelling Group.  If your group would like to nominate a teller for any of the upcoming monthly events, please have your group’s representative contact Ed Lewis at ed-lewis@sbcglobal.net
 
The deadline for being considered to tell is 10 days prior to the event.  The information required from all prospective tellers is: Teller's Name, Teller's email, Story Title, a short 2 or 3 sequence biography, the name of their Swap Group, and the email of their Swap Group's lead contact person.
 
All tellers must be SAC members.  If you are not currently a SAC member please join us!  Single memberships are only $30 per year, and there are multiple membership options as well.  Please return to the Home Page for the PayPal button and link.
 
We are looking forward to hearing all the talented storytellers from our amazing Story Swap Groups.  And we're looking forward to seeing you there!
