there have been last minute keys and castles and ghosts, a school skull and a general sense that Glossop is a town of marvels....link in this blog to the full set of wonderful stories that have grown out of the Derbyshire Makes workshops with High Peak Community Arts, #stories, #storytelling, #storymaking, https://creepingtoad.blogspot.com/2025/04/lightbulb-trees.html

But if I have a choice between using time to promo or using time to write, I'm gonna choose the storysmithing 90% of the time.

Bad business decision? Yup.

Good humaning decision? Hell yes.

And I still think that as long as I'm humaning better, my books will find their people eventually.

As a #freelance #creative, the thing I struggle with most is self-promotion and marketing - which unfortunately is a big part of freelancing!

Which is leading up to say, I'm always looking for work. I don't intend to spam the feed on here with this sort of thing, but if anyone is looking for a #storyteller or someone to run #CreativeWorkshops, I have lots of dates available in the new year and beyond.

I have a background in #EFLTeaching and #CreativePractition and can offer #EFLTutoring; performance #Storytelling of #TraditionalStories; #StoryMaking and #CreativeWriting workshops (I have a Masters in Writing for Young People); and #Folklore talks for adults, with a focus on #Northumberland and the #ScottishBorders. I have lots of experience working with #schools and #YouthGroups.

I try to keep my prices affordable, I tailor sessions to the needs of a group, and I can offer online sessions as well as in-person events. I've been working in the above areas for over a decade.

There's more info on my website: https://spindriftstories.wordpress.com/ or just get in touch if you have any queries, ideas, or project ideas!

Apologies for the self-promotion, it won't happen often. Boosts appreciated, but no obligation!

Storytelling from the Border Country

Spindrift Stories

A bit more about me as a #storyteller. You'll find me online as Spindrift Stories, and I tell old stories in the old way, passing on the oral tradition of #folktales and #legends. (I write fiction too, but that's an entirely different craft.)

I'm based in #Northumberland and in summer I host my own open-air #storytelling sessions. I also run #StoryMaking workshops for children, but my #stories are for all ages! Please check out my site to find out more: https://spindriftstories.co.uk/

@mchristinebd This sounds like interesting #storymaking to me. I write deeply disturbing #stories if you think about them or reread them. I'm making them as real as possible. I also write poetry and nonfiction. I am following you in an attempt to build my #writersofmastodon community.

Good morning! A bit more about me as a #storyteller. You'll find me online as Spindrift Stories, and I tell old stories in the old way, passing on the oral tradition of #folktales and #legends. (I write fiction too, but that's an entirely different craft.)
