Big Ideas.
Real Impact.

The Collective is our membership program for creators, educators, and community members who are ready to bring their storytelling projects to life.

In development

The Collective is a multimedia membership library for anyone with a story to tell. From your first idea to a finished book, magazine, or podcast — we walk you through every step of getting it made and into the world.

Membership will be sliding scale — you choose what you can give, because access should never be a barrier to keeping our stories alive.

  • Our full resource library covering every stage of the creative and publishing process

  • Guidance on books, magazines, podcasts, and multimedia storytelling

  • Networking opportunities with other creators

  • Invitations to community publishing events and workshops where we work together to bring stories to life*

  • Opportunities to apply for funded group publishing projects

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Membership includes access to our full library of digital content—videos, courses, resources, and any new material we release while you're subscribed.

    You also receive invites to exclusive live events where we have Q/A, talk you through a variety of ways to publish your own stories (books/podcasts/magazines), and you get first dibs on applying for our public searches related to publishing collaborative books in Indigenous languages.

  • No. The Collective is open to all creators and storytellers.

    If you have a story and want to learn how to share it — you belong here. Our funded projects prioritize Indigenous language and cultural content, but the Collective itself is for every storyteller.

  • Yes! You can adjust your membership contribution at any time. Since membership is sliding scale, there are no rigid tiers — similar to a Patreon, you simply contribute what works for you right now, and change it whenever your situation changes. Whether you're able to give more as your creative practice grows, or need to scale back for a season, the Collective is designed to meet you where you are. What matters most is that you're here.

  • We aim to expand on a regular basis with a library of fresh content, tools, and updates to keep your learning and inspiration going strong.

  • Memberships are flexible and can be canceled at any time from your account. You’ll retain access through the end of your current billing cycle.
