Help get our project off the ground by becoming a Narratively Launcher. Our Launchers will play a pivotal role in the editorial process by voting on which themes Narratively focuses on for upcoming weeks.

Join Narratively as a Premium Member. In addition to the Launcher benefits, you’ll receive a one-year Premium Membership to Narratively, which includes exclusive content such as an e-book edition with all of our stories formatted for easy reading on tablets and e-readers — plus extras like behind-the-scenes interviews with our subjects and interactive maps of our favorite spots in New York City. Additionally, Premium Members will receive free access to Narratively screenings, discussions and storytelling events for a year.

Snag a Narratively Premium Membership for yourself and a friend, and come party with us! In addition to the Launcher and Premium Member benefits mentioned above, you’ll get a bonus Premium Membership to give away and two invitations to our launch party in New York.

Bring Narratively photojournalism into your home. Choose an image from the six months of Narratively stories funded by this campaign — and we'll send you a high-quality, professional 8x10 photo print. You’ll also receive the Launcher, Premium Member, bonus and launch party benefits mentioned above.

Carry high-quality journalism with you everywhere you go. We’ll send you a custom-designed smartphone case featuring an original Narratively New York photo. Plus, you'll get all the other rewards mentioned above.

Become a member of the exclusive Narratively Inner Circle. Get an individual audience with our editorial team as you join us, behind the scenes, to develop story ideas at a special evening soiree. Plus you'll receive every other reward mentioned above.

Become a Narratively Storyteller. Our team will conduct a private, one-day workshop on nonfiction storytelling, customized for you and two other people in whatever storytelling realm you wish: photo, video, audio, writing, editing and more. Plus, you'll receive all the other rewards mentioned above.

Be the story. A Narratively photojournalist will shoot you in an iconic (or little-known) New York setting of your choice. (New York Harbor as the backdrop for your family holiday card? Engagement photos under the Brooklyn Bridge? Portrait of your beloved pooch in Prospect Park?) If you’re not in New York, we’ll shoot a professional series of your favorite NYC setting and send you a digital portfolio, plus you’ll receive the rewards from all of the previous levels of support.

Become a Narratively Patron and discuss the future of journalism in style. You’ll get two seats at our exclusive Narratively Dining event, an intimate and private evening with a select group of leading journalists and innovators shaping the New York and national media landscape. You’ll also receive a lifetime Premium Membership to Narratively (featuring exclusive content and free access to storytelling events). On top of that, you'll have your name listed on our site as a Patron and also receive the rewards from each of the levels mentioned above.

Sponsor Narratively. We’ll present an entire week of Narratively stories in the name of an individual, organization or cause of your choice. Of course, you'll also receive the benefits from every previous level of support.

Become a Narratively Globetrotter and we’ll bring Narratively to you. Decide where in the world Narratively should focus on next — we’ll fly there and devote an entire week to telling the under-the-radar human-interest stories from the location of your choice. Every other Narratively reward mentioned is yours, too.
