I’ve sent out 23 invitations to practitioners who work in some way with story to participate in a new Q&A series, which will probably launch in early May (a few may sneak in before that).

Happily, I’ve already had 13 favorable responses.

With the caveat that stuff happens and sometimes folks who commit to these Q&As aren’t able to fulfill the commitment, I’m announcing some folks from whom we might expect to see Q&As later this spring:

David Kennedy, who blogs about the intersection of storytelling and technology; George Dutch, who uses story to help people figure out the right career; storyteller Noa Baum (who is also a performance artist, educator, and diversity specialist); blogger and consultant Gregg Morris; storyteller and ghostwriter Kim Pearson; Digital Survival™/Digital Success™ consultant Jo Golden; Barry Poltermann, CEO of About Face Media; presentation gurus Scott Schwertly and Travis Robertson of Ethos3; storyteller and consultant Cathryn Wellner; Steve Krizman, who writes about storytelling in organizational communications and in branding; storyteller, writer, and communicator David Willows; story coach Lisa Bloom; and Steven Spalding, chief storyteller at Crossing Gaps, a digital-storytelling firm.
