Become a Member of the WVSG!

West Virginia Storytelling Guild members have one thing in common: the love of the oral art of storytelling.  The members of the Guild are as diverse as the stories that they tell and enjoy.  Membership includes storytellers from the professional level to the beginner, as well as enthusiastic listeners and those interested in preserving oral tradition.

The West Virginia Storytelling Guild was formed to provide a support network for storytellers across the state.  We strive to preserve and promote the ancient art of oral storytelling across the state of West Virginia and the Appalachian region.

The WV Storytelling Guild assists in the production of West Virginia storytelling festivals and storytelling events throughout West Virginia. We are often part of folk festivals, music festivals, civic and community events; we tell stories in schools, at fairs, for conferences, and anywhere the need for a good story arises.

Membership benefits include:

  • Reduced ticket prices for storytelling events nationally through the WVSG's affiliate membership in the National Storytelling Network
  • "How-To" workshops taught by experienced guild members 
  • Opportunities to perform at guild-sponsored events across the state
  • Access to the guild's email listserve and Facebook page
  • promotion on this blog
  • support and guidance from other guild members


Membership in the West Virginia Storytelling Guild is $15.00 per year.
