Hire a Teller

Professional Tellers

The Guild does not function as a booking agent. Each teller has their own fee structure. Please consult with individual tellers on availability and rates.

You can search below or, if you wish, contact us and we will forward your request to our list of professional tellers who will then get in touch with you if available.

Hot Air Balloons

 Great for special occasions, meetings, parties, schools, senior centers, libraries and so much more!

Many tellers also offer Themed Programs and Workshops

So many reasons to hire a storyteller....
