Abstract:

His grandmother's insistence that the family make up skits, songs, and stories on beach vacations, instead of watching television and listening to the radio, influenced Wright Clarkson to become a professional storyteller. He taught school a while and had a telemarketing career; then he returned to teach in preschool where he began to tell stories. Five years ago, with the encouragement of his wife and friends, he became a full-time storyteller. \r\nClarkson discusses his career.
