Our Directory of Storytellers showcases over 140 professional storytellers who can be booked for storytelling sessions and workshops in your community.

Many storytellers are also eligible for subsidy through the Live Literature Fund (LLF) scheme, administered by the Scottish Book Trust.

All storytellers are freelance artists and not employees of the Storytelling Forum or TRACS, utilising our recommended fees, as set out below.

Where events and projects require a period of research, preparation and attendance at meetings, there may be additional costs.

Rates for work overseas or for long term projects are open to negotiation and can be discussed with the storytellers directly or through the National Storytelling Coordinator.

Storytellers normally invoice directly for any storytelling bookings. Invoicing can be processed by TRACS at the Scottish Storytelling Centre upon request, but a one-off £5 admin charge will apply.
