Speak Up Storytelling

On episode #39 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, Matthew Dicks talks storytelling! With report cards and parent-teacher conferences filling Elysha's week, she takes some time off from the podcast, shifting our format again. I'm going it alone this week. Rather than posting a re-run, we have some exciting new content for you.   Hope you enjoy!  In our follow up segment, Elysha and I talk about the cover release of my new novel Twenty-one Truths About Love, which you can see here in the show notes.    Then, instead of listening and critiquing a new story, I play three of my stories (chosen for a specific reason) with some commentary about the crafting of each.  After listening, I discuss: The variety of chronological formats available to storytellers When to choose a specific chronological format for a story The strategies used to preserve and enhance surprise in a story LINKS Matthew Dicks's website: http://www.matthewdicks.com Matthew Dicks's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/matthewjohndicks
