Field Notes for Storytellers: Research, Security, and the Archival Muse fills a wide gap in storytelling instruction by helping you organize and conduct the research that underpins the stories you tell. There are four modules in the course, and each of them draws upon my experience as a storyteller, a folklorist, a doctoral researcher of ethically sensitive topics, and the CEO of a technology company.
Greetings, and mòran taing for taking the time to read my newsletter. This is the May 2026 edition of Folkbyte, and I'm writing it on the heels of completing the paper I mentioned last month, which I'll be delivering at the ISFNR conference in Reykjavik this summer. I'm planning to make that paper my Special Dispatch offering for July, so keep an eye out for it then.
Dispatches from the Word Mines
The Storyteller's Guide to Folklore is out for peer review, and I probably won't hear back from my prospective publisher until sometime in June. FYI, this publisher sends robust proposals - and not completed manuscripts - to reviewers, but because the book is over half written, I had plenty of material to provide my peers. I'm so looking forward to signing my contract and sharing my publication news with you in full. Look for it sometime later this year.
