About Us

By Word of Mouth Storytelling Guild is an organization of storytellers and story listeners who are united in an effort to preserve and perpetuate the awesome oral tradition of storytelling. Our members include professional and non professional storytellers, teachers, librarians, counselors, retirees, seniors, preachers and others who love to hear and/or tell stories. We will celebrate our 10th Anniversary with a Festival in Hannibal, Missouri at the Hannibal Inn from September 13—15, 2002.

The festival will consist of story swaps in which participants will sign up to tell stories in various categories in different rooms. Categories include humor stories, inspirational stories, stories for pre-school children, personal stories, etc. Participants are urged to bring stories to tell. A registration form can be found on the events page. We urge members to send in stories for this site and to update us on activities you are involved in.
