Hello readers!
My name is Kristy Webster and my Substack will largely consist of personal essays and poetry on topics such as: stigma of mental illness, religious trauma, and healing through writing and art making.
I am the author of The Gift of an Imaginary Girl, a collection of short stories and a novella, as well as two collections of poetry both published by Beyond the Veil Press: Heretic, a collection of poetry about surviving life in a religious cult and Shapeshifters: A Love Letter to the Resistance.
My goal is to build community, through a “show & tell” of creative works and sharing experiences of empathy in action like my essay, “The Progressive Insurance Agent Who Changed My life.”
My hope is that we connect through storytelling and vulnerability.
Thank you for your support!
Warmly,
Kristy
