About the Carnival of Storytelling

The Carnival of Storytelling is a blog carnival that explores tips, techniques, and issues we encounter as fiction writers, whatever media we write for. Posts talk about conflict, character, plot, creativity, style, and every other aspect of creating stories. They may also include story analysis of published books, films, and games. I try to shy away from literary analysis, though talking about what makes a story worth reading is on-topic.

The first edition will run this coming Monday, July 24, 2006, and successive editions on successive Mondays. Please feel free to submit your proudest post.

I’m recruiting other bloggers to host the carnival. Being a host has advantages:

• You get to decide which posts get included. You can even include unsolicited posts.
• A wider audience than just those visitors who frequent your blog.
• You get to meet new people, those submitting posts.
• Good PR for your blog.
• You’re doing something to promote storytelling.

Being a host is a little work:

1. A blogger submits a post.
2. You look it over and make sure it’s an interesting post about telling stories.
3. You email the blogger letting them know what’s happening.
4. You write the edition, and on the date of the edition, you post it.
5. You email me, so I can post a link to the edition.

I’ll posts a link to each edition of the Carnival of Storytelling here:
