Transform Media supports community practitioners in sharing their transformative wisdom, to strengthen movements for regeneration globally.
For a quarter of a century, NewStories has been in relationship with change-makers worldwide whose work is rooted in community.
NewStories is launching Transform Media to support these master practioners as they:
Sell Through The Virtual Bookstore
Dialogue With Their Communities & Other Practitioners
Their stories are, of course, collective stories. Transform Media makes it easy for practitioners to share their writing with those who have been part of the story, inviting community voices to enrich the process.
Create Clear, Compelling & Beautiful Content
There’s no point in doing this alone! The Transform Media Authors’ Community provides an opportunity for these skilled practitioners to connect and share with others, bringing the work of their hearts forward.
Exploring new ideas can be a pleasure. Transform Media assists authors with editing, graphics, layout and design services to make their stories a joy to read - and then creates powerful spaces for online learning.
Cultivate Community With Other Authors
Host Workshops & Seminars
Writing is just the first step. Transform Media makes it easy for authors to promote and host virtual workshops and seminars, as well as register participants in face-to-face learning opportunities.
Read the way that you enjoy most. Transform Media assists authors in making their work available across many formats, including digital readers, eBooks, print on demand, and video content.
The support of both old and new friends is needed to bring Transform Media to life.
Transform Media is in a formative phase, utilizing limited resources to prototype and discover the path forward that best serves community practitioners and their wisdom. Currently, we’re working with two practitioners.
Indigenous leader Mark Parman came to Transform Media with a draft manuscript that has since been illustrated and developed into the book and learning community Leading From Your Own Medicine: A Cherokee View of Leadership. Bob Stilger came to Transform Media to inspire conversation and grow connections between those using ideas from his book AfterNow: When We Cannot See the Future, Where Do We Begin? Transform Media is building an online space for these ongoing learning community conversations.
They are featured on the Current Offerings page, alongside additional projects in development—more details are available on the Emerging Collaborations page. There are seven community practitioners from four continents ready to partner with Transform Media to make their stories accessible to local communities across the world.
To bring their wisdom to life, support is needed to build Transform Media’s infrastructure and expand the team of editors, designers, and creators of learning experiences. Contributions, spreading the word, or connecting Transform Media with potential writers, team members, and financial supporters will be instrumental in making this vision a reality.
