THE GUIDE TO REGISTERING 

as a professional member


When you register as a Professional Member, you will be asked to provide information about your work as a storyteller. This information will be displayed on your personal Profile page.  You can read what our existing members have written about themselves in their profiles in the Directory.

We hope this information will be useful for fellow members and prospective clients who may be looking for telling talents.  As FEAST is not a booking agency, and we do not vet our members, we want the information you provide to give prospective clients a sense of who you are and your experience as a storyteller, in order that they may open a conversation with you.

THE FEAST PLEDGE


Although membership is open to anyone, the founders have agreed on some common standards that we want our members to practice.  To encourage members to follow our 10th objective, we ask that, when joining FEAST, you agree to the principles stated in our pledge:

As a Storyteller, 

  • I will try to tell stories that are appropriate for each  audience and occasion.
  •  I accept that there are many different ways to tell a story, according to each teller’s culture, audience, purpose, and their personal skills.
  •  I respect the culture from which a story comes. When I change a story, I will acknowledge what I have changed,  and why.
  • When I learn a story from another teller, I will do my best     to make my telling uniquely mine, and gratefully acknowledge the teller who gifted me that story.
  •  I believe that a well-told story is like good food: that it encourages people to come back for more! Therefore, whoever tells a story well, helps all of us by popularising storytelling and growing our global audience.
  • And, as every feast requires a generous host and many cooks, so I come to this FEAST grateful for what I have learned from others, and willing to share my skills with  those who seek to learn. I want to add my voice to the timeless tradition of tellers, handing on wisdom from generation to generation.
