"Award-winning storyteller Laura S. Packer gives storytellers, and for that matter, artists in many other genres, a powerful understanding of not just the ABC's of storytelling, but of how to live a more vibrant and creative life. This wildly-wide-reaching book explores the inner and outer work of crafting stories (and the stories of our lives) in tune with our passions, callings, communities, and livelihoods. Packer weaves together pithy and profound chapters on the nuts and bolts aspects of making a living (event planning, contracts, compensation, marketing, and more), crafting and telling stories (whether drawn from fairy tales, real life, current news, or other sources), and whole-life explorations of abundance, truth, healing, ethics, and gratitude. Drawing on humor, honesty, real-life examples, fearless questioning, and clear discernment, Packer's book is both a magical fountain and a guiding light of inquiry, instruction, and inspiration for all storytellers."
