Curating for Narrative Muse

We’re keen for you to share your favorite books, movies and TV series with us! At Narrative Muse this is called “curating” and when you curate for us, you’re called a “curator”.

As a curator, you fill in a survey for each book, movie, and TV show that you would like to recommend to others on Narrative Muse. Our surveys capture information about what it’s like to read the book, or watch the movie or TV series. These may be completed by members of the Narrative Muse community, readers, watchers, authors, filmmakers, distributors, retailers and more.
