Welcome to Beyond the Page! I’m no expert, but I firmly believe that we can inspire each other to be our best creative selves. This newsletter is about living our authentic creative lives, the writing we do beyond the page, and the ways we do the work when we’re busy doing other things. My sincerest hope is that this space becomes one of your favorite places to talk books, writing, and creativity with a group of brilliant artists and creatives.
If you’re new here, I’d love to learn more about you! Please introduce yourself in the comments so I can say hello and learn more about you!
Where are you from?
What are you currently reading / writing / painting / crafting / creating?
What do you hope to see here at Beyond the Page?
Please feel free to make conversation in the comment section here and on any of the posts that interest you. What makes Substack so fun is the ability to engage with each other.
Also, if you’re interested in a paid nonfiction bookclub or a writers’ accountability group, please let me know in the comments!
I can go first! Hi, I’m Kim (she/her). I’m from a small town in Southern Illinois but I live in Chicago and consider myself a Chicagoan now. This is my forever place. Currently, I’m re-reading Diary of a Misfit by Casey Parks and also cross stitching a dinosaur in space for my son’s room. 😄 I’m hoping Beyond the Page will become a community for all kinds of creatives and I’d absolutely love to start an accountability group if anyone else is down for it. Can’t wait to talk more!
