Hello.
My name is Mary.
I'm a storyteller.
I tell stories for kids and adults.

I'm also an author, poet, artist, video maker, podcaster, and human being alive.

I founded the RIFF Foundation which aims to inspire creativity, community, and confidence.

I believe everybody should have access to books and art.
This means that all my work is available on a pay what you can basis. If you're a single parent, broke student, or senior citizen struggling to survive, please take my work for free. If you enjoy it, please share and spread the word. Every word counts.
If you have money and can afford to pay, please do! Your support will help me eat and create new work.

In 2016 I started a PhD to save my life. I'm researching how storytelling impacts healthcare for chronically ill children.

If you would like to ask a question, or book me for storytelling/public speaking/etc, please say hello: mjlstories@gmail.com
