Comment by Gwen Bonilla on November 1, 2010 at 11:40pm: I'm hoping some of you can help me -- what is a typical/standard fee for storytellers at regional conferences/festivals? And what part of the country are you answering about?

Thanks

Comment by MARY JO HUFF on November 11, 2008 at 7:07am: Dianne you are the girl and thanks for this great site. The new Story Biz book is the best book on my shelf.........had to move several to make room but there it is right in front of me on the shelf..........saying open me............I have the answer.

Comment by Don 'Buck P' Creacy on September 30, 2008 at 6:54pm: Hello Everyone;

Please check your freindship request and either accept them or reject them. But please don't let them sit idle. If one hundred people do that, if keeps others from making new friends. Just go to your friends tabs, the little silloettes at the top right of your page, under your name and click it. I expect if you haven't found it by now... you may have many pending new friends.

Just a tip.
Buck

Comment by Dianne de Las Casas, Founder on September 28, 2008 at 3:09am: Buck, the book is out!!! Order your copy. OMG. It's HUGE. 8.5X11, nearly 400 pages, and 30 chapters of tons of useful information. You're gonna love it. I guarantee!

Warmly, Dianne

Comment by Don 'Buck P' Creacy on September 9, 2008 at 6:49am: Dianne;

We have talked about this before... I still want the first book off the press. Signed of course and you can stick a hundred dollar bill in there for me to use as a book mark! Hope you get to go home soon... Hope you have no damage.

Buck
