Hire A Teller
Members of Ottawa StoryTellers are available to tell stories in the community. These tellers are experienced performers with a wide repertoire of tales.
OST is happy to help you find a storyteller for your event. If you are interested in hiring a storyteller, please refer to the list of tellers, which should provide you with the information you need to select a storyteller that will suit your event. The list provides you with information so that you can contact storytellers directly to find out more about the programs that they offer and engage them accordingly. If you have any questions, please email info@ottawastorytellers.ca or call 613-322-8336. Fees are based on experience and expertise and vary from teller to teller.
If you are a non-profit organization or represent a group or audience who are not able to come to OST events, you may qualify for Community Outreach Telling, which is offered by tellers for a small honorarium or pro-bono, rather than for the standard fees. If you think you might qualify, email info@ottawastorytellers.ca or call 613-322-8336 for more details.
