You have the power to make your dreams come true.

What if you showed up for yourself and your creative pursuits this year?

We're calling 2024 The Year of Ambitious Creativity: a year about living boldly, embracing your unique and wonderful self, and sharing your creativity with the world.

We believe that creativity is a force for good, and when we prioritize telling new, exciting stories, and taking care of ourselves as creatives, we set in motion an unstoppable ripple effect throughout our communities. 

Will you join us?

2023 was The Year of Mindful Creativity

We're building upon the lessons we learned last year and maintaining a sense of inner peace and purpose as we seek out our bold new vision.

What does it mean to be an Ambitious Creative? Here's our manifesto.

Repeat after us:

In 2024, I pledge to...

  • Seek out projects that light my soul on fire

  • Commit to fewer, better, BIGGER projects

  • Prioritize taking care of myself (emotionally AND physically) so I can be creative

  • Hype up my fellow creatives and view them as collaborators, not competition

  • Be unapologetic about who I am, what I want, and what I have to offer

  • Practice discipline by finishing the projects I start

  • Make time for my creative pursuits and ask for support/help in doing so

  • Forge my own path and build a creative process that works for ME

  • Use storytelling and creativity as a force for good

Ready to take the pledge?

What does it mean to "take the pledge"?

Pledging to The Year of Ambitious Creativity simply means that you...

a) Will do your best to embody the tenets of TYOAC manifesto throughout 2024

b) Want some free goodies from us to help you do that

That's it! There's nothing else we want from you. True to our mission, the Storytelling Collective exists to help independent and interdisciplinary storytellers learn and feel supported.
