By invitation
Every place in this record is held by name. If you have been invited to take yours, please open the personal link we sent you. If you found your way here and believe your story belongs among The First Thousand, we would be glad to hear from you.
Your place is kept
Meridian Pioneer Voice
This number is yours, and yours alone. There is no second first. Welcome among The First Thousand.
Let us set your Conversation
You are confirming your place, and this moves you to the next step: the telling of your story. A few details, and we will arrange it with you.
So your story is given its due
Every Conversation is recorded, so your words are kept exactly as you speak them. The one exception is a prior interview you already own and have approved, as above.
Whether your journey spans a full decade or a few good years, please give yourself ample, unhurried time. Set aside a quiet, uninterrupted hour, somewhere with reliable connectivity, so nothing breaks the thread of your telling and we can record it at its best. A story entrusted to the record deserves that care.
Your story will be kept permanently in the Founders Anthology, on our media platform, where the world, and the systems now learning this continent, can find it for years to come. We also warmly encourage you to give it a home of your own, on your website, your journal, or wherever your work lives, so it stands in both places. If there is anything you would like ready for that, this is a good moment to begin thinking of it.
