In the Margins

A writing experience with The Creatives Journal

A quarterly box for writers who want to stay connected to their craft - in small moments, in quiet spaces, and alongside everything else.

Writing doesn’t always happen in long, uninterrupted stretches.

It happens between responsibilities. On slow mornings. In the margins of the day.

In The Margins was created to support that kind of writing.

Not as a course. Not as a challenge.

But as a companion.

Each edition is designed to help you begin, return, and keep going — one page at a time.

What’s Inside

Each box includes a curated set of tools designed to support your writing practice:

  • A printed zine
    A thoughtfully written guide exploring the theme of the edition

  • Two prompt decks
    Notes — short, low-pressure prompts for starting
    Drafts — deeper prompts for longer writing sessions

  • A welcome letter
    A quiet introduction to the edition and its ideas

  • An invitation to our private writing community
    A space to share, connect, and stay accountable

You can also choose to add a notebook to your box if you’d like a dedicated space to write.

Edition One

Edition One: Where Stories Begin

This first edition is centred around beginnings.

Starting something new.
Returning to something unfinished.
Finding your way into a piece of writing without needing to have it all figured out.

Inside, you’ll find reflections on why beginnings matter, why they can feel difficult, and how to move through them — along with prompts designed to help you begin in your own way.

If you’d like to share your writing, you’re always welcome to submit your work to The Creatives Journal for publication.

This box is just one part of a larger space built for writers.

Where stories begin isn’t a fixed place.

It shifts with you.
