About Glenn

Glenn B Swift has been telling stories longer than his mother can remember. His career in Professional Storytelling had a Fairytale beginning, literally! Once upon a time (a long time ago...) a holiday job performing fairytales in Myer city book department developed into an invitation to perform in a number of school libraries and now into a circuit that covers most of the State of Western Australia . He enjoys performing in regional Libraries and schools and has a fan base among city and suburban librarians who engage him to celebrate just about anything connected to books and community. These days he tells many stories of his own creation, loves to get large groups of children screaming on cue and introduces teenagers to the joy of reading through the experience of a gripping narrative.

Glenn has a wonderful selection of story material suitable for years PP through to High School. His middle and lower primary sets are distinguished by a VERY high degree of participation, ensuring maximum retention and guaranteed to turn your students into playground storytellers. His stories for upper primary and High School are by turn nasty, funny, inspiring, bizarre and sometimes all of these. He keeps any class, even year 9's, focused and attentive for 50 minutes or more.
