If you're reading this and thinking about joining - do it! I've been a member for just over a year, and in that year I've started writing on Substack, sharing my writing on Instagram, getting my work published in journals, and making lots of progress on longer term projects - all things I didn't have the courage or commitment to do before joining. In addition to learning from incredible teachers and being a part of a truly special community Joy has built. It's absolutely worth it!

Do it! Yes you! If you’re looking for a glowing testimonial, you’ve found it. Choosing to invest in myself and my writing this year through Sustenance has been one of the best decisions of my life. I’ve gained a better understanding of my own personal writing, as well as the inner workings of the publishing world. Alongside the true geniuses we are privileged enough to learn from (Joy absolutely being one of those geniuses) I’ve also made captivating friendships thanks to this beautiful container that is Sustenance. 🫙🍊

Joining Sustenance has not only improved my life as a writer but also as a human trying to make sense of the world. Between the workshops, generative writing sessions, close readings of shared work with talented peers, and the encouragement and support to pursue writing goals, it is truly well worth the investment of time and money! Joy, you have created such a special place ❤️
