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  Subscribe to Matthew Dicks's weekly newsletter:  http://www.matthewdicks.com/matthewdicks-subscribe Subscribe to the Speak Up newsletter:  http://www.matthewdicks.com/subscribe-speak-up Speak Up at Space Ballroom on March 16: Exposed: Lies, Secrets, and Indiscretions Revealed STORYTELLING WORKSHOPS 2019 May 4: Storytelling workshop (beginner), CT Historical Society May 18: Storytelling workshop (advanced), CT Historical Society June 1: Storytelling workshop (master class), CT Historical Society July 29-August 2: Storytelling bootcamp, CT Historical Society August 17: Storytelling workshop, Taproot Theater, Seattle, WA  October 25-27: Storytelling workshop, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Heath December 6-8: Storytelling workshop, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health
