“Storytelling is our obligation to the next generation. If all we are doing is marketing, we are doing a disservice, and not only to our profession, but to our children, and their children. Give something of meaning to your audience by inspiring, engaging, and educating them with story. Stop marketing. Start storytelling.”

—Laura Holloway, Founder & Chief of The Storyteller Agency

“Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can’t remember who we are or why we’re here.”

— Sue Monk Kidd, author

“Inside each of us is a natural-born storyteller, waiting to be released.”

— Robin Moore, author

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

—Maya Angelou, author
