Sharing stories via CSN is 100% optional and you retain 100% ownership of your stories.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The price is so low, why? We believe great stories come from anywhere, and that everyone deserves a fair shot to be heard. We plan on Catalyst to become the revolutionary new way for stories to enter the market so we created (and are subsidizing) Catalyst to enable more people to play in our sandbox with us.
-
What if I don’t want to share my story?
You don’t have to. Catalyst members can choose to keep their profiles and projects completely private.
-
Am I giving up any ownership of my story?
Absolutely not. Neither joining Catalyst nor using CSN gives Voyage or anyone else ownership of your story.
