- About Me:
- Storyteller, folklorist, oral historian, teacher, writer, coach -- Jo specializes in creating stories about northern New England, in service of her vision of a world that welcomes without fear the often surprising, often quirky gifts of each person.
Right now (2008) Jo is serving as Chair of the National Storytelling Network, a position she accepted because of her belief in the potential of a national organization to advocate for storytelling and to serve a wide variety of people involved in different aspects of the storytelling movement. She'd be glad to hear suggestions about the ways NSN can be of better service to the professional tellers who belong to this site.

Pam Holcomb said… - Dear Jo:
I so want to get to know you. I was fortunate enough to be one of the KY Showcase tellers this year at the NSN conference. I would like to become more actively involved with NSN. Maybe you can give me some advice as how to do so?
Take care,
Pam

- If you're headed to Jonesborough for the National Storytelling Festival in October, you can kick off a great weekend with NSN's all-star National Story Night concert on the eve of the Festival, Thursday, October 2, at 7:30 pm in the Library Tent behind the Jonesborough Visitors Center.
http://www.storynet.org/Events/Storynight/2008%20national_story_night.html
Here's the line-up: Diane Ferlatte, David Novak, Barbara Freeman, Gayle Ross, Bobby Norfolk, Faye Wooden (Jonesborough Storytelling Guild), and Rixon Lane (National Youth Storytelling Showcase Grand Torchbearer)!
All these splendid tellers have donated their astonishing talents to benefit NSN's Grant Program. Please thank them! --
and come to National Story Night! Tickets ($15 adults; $10 students and seniors) can be ordered from the Jonesborough Visitors Center, 1-866-401-4223, or purchased in Jonesborough at the Visitors Center or at the tent.
Please consider (even if you can't be at the concert in person) buying a ticket in honor of the memory of a departed teller. We'll put a sign on the seat honoring that person. Just order the ticket, and then send a message about your memorial gift to Karin Hensley (karin@storynet.org).
Hope to see you in Jonesborough!

Vernon L. Cox said… - Jo just a note to say thanks for all you do for NSN, LANES, and MOOSE.
I beleive the forums here for discussion would benifit NSN's outreach as well as NSN could support the growth of ideas by offering topics covered here at the National Conferences.
When NSN and local groups encourage their members to participate in soical Network groups like this one then we all grow stronger through knowledge.
