Some Points of Inspiration
There are many excellent collections of stories, writing guides, and books on cultural storytelling. We'll keep expanding this list, but here are some places to start.
How you tell a story, and its mode of transmission varies depending on:
-
What you have to say.
-
The audience you are hoping to reach.
-
And how you want the audience to, hopefully, respond to your story.
