Storytelling Schedules and Fees

Fees are based on the recommended rates for writers’ visits and residencies, as set by the Society of Authors, Poetry Ireland’s Writers in Schools Scheme, Authors Aloud, and other agencies and organisations. There is also a charge for travel and accommodation for work outside Northern Ireland. Fees are calculated on a session, half-day, or daily basis. A half day is usually two storytelling performances, each 45-60 minutes long, or a 90 minute workshop. A full day is usually 3 or 4 storytelling performances or 2 performances and a workshop. Special discount rates are negotiated for short-term and long-term residencies and for daily residencies when two or more schools or organizations near each other book me for the same day.
