Leanne Logan

Leanne is a professional storyteller, activist and mentor. Through her business Storytelling at Your Service, Leanne is inspiring a revival in oral storytelling in early childhood and primary school settings, bringing stories that matter to a generation of children hungry for the oral word.

In 2017 Leanne coined the expression “collaborative storytelling” to describe the inclusive and co- creational nature of her work. She has continued to grow this initiative through becoming the “Storyteller in Residence” at many preschools and early learning centres on Bundjalung and Yaegl countries in NSW’s Northern Rivers.

Leanne’s work sees her sharing intentional stories with hundreds of children, educators and teachers every week, inviting questions and curiosity around the learning from these stories, inspiring children and adults alike to play with their imaginations, and expanding learning through reflective documentation practices.

A former journalist and travel writer, Leanne spent decades exploring the world as a writer for Lonely Planet publications before becoming an early childhood educator 16 years ago.
