Story to Speech was valuable in ways I hadn't imagined. Within a week of my participation in Dawn's workshop, I created a website, procured work I had only fantasized would happen, and finally got the courage to declare myself, a professional storyteller. It's like a little imperceptible "shift" has occurred.

I especially appreciated her insight on the components of a professional, effective website, and her detailed guidance on what to charge and how to find speaking gigs”
