Hi, I’m Anna.
Enhance children’s development and learning through stories with me!
“We learned so much from our storytelling workshop led by the amazing Anna Manuel. Thank you so much Anna, for inspiring us and giving us new and effective teaching strategies and ideas to help us look at and teach the way we tell stories. We can’t wait to use them in class!”

I’m a children’s writer and storyteller, educator and story coach
Embracing my unique skill sets as an educator, writer and storyteller, I support teachers, librarians, artists and community workers use stories to deliver low-prep, high-engagement programs that tick off multiple goals.
I know that through stories well told, children are inspired to read, write and tell THEIR stories. With more lives represented in the stories we tell make us better, kinder and calmer human beings.
My job is to help you enrich your programs with stories and deliver greater engagement and value for children and the community.
It was a pleasure to have Anna as our storytelling facilitator during one of our funded projects held at the Maribyrnong Library. Her pleasant and vibrant personality, matched with her lively strategy in delivering her workshop left no room for yawns and boredom. I was pleasantly amazed at how effective her workshop facilitation as well with the adults, as I know she regularly facilitates storytelling workshops for kids. The participants’ responses were nothing short of positive comments, expressing their enjoyment whilst learning at the same time.
I highly recommend her in every Story Telling or any Communication Improvement type of workshops for all ages. Thank you Anna for adding colour to our activity, and for the infectious laughter and most of all, for the engaging delivery making everyone feel included.
