Abstract
To observe the transformations caused by the American storytelling movement, I interviewed national storytellers who are prominent in progressing the movement. Although I have not completed my goal of interviewing 24 national storytellers, 22 storytellers have responded and agreed to be interviewed. Of the 22 storytellers who agreed, I interviewed 16 storytellers during the summer months by telephone. Since I sent only 39 letters to various storytellers, 22 responses are amazing. I believe these positive replies show the power of storytelling and the affects it has on storytellers.
