Gail Thomas is a superb teacher and storyteller! With patience, humor and clear instruction, Gail has helped me to find my voice, identify themes and finally craft powerful stories that are meaningful to me and my audience. As a beginner, I could not imagine a better experience in our small storytelling classes, where I have felt safe to take risks and receive feedback from Gail and my classmates. It has been a gift to work with Gail.
