★ About the Club + FAQ
Creative Joy Club is a gentle and inspiring membership with me, Susannah Conway, hosted right here on Substack ❤️
Creative Joy Club is for anyone who wants to bring more creative joy into their daily life! ✨🌈✨
What’s creative joy? Check out this post:
You don’t have to be super creative to belong to the club and you certainly don’t have to like the exact same stuff as me!
I’ve built this creative space so you have a place to get inspired, do some gentle self reflection and have some company (on video AND Zoom!) as you journal or knit or plan your book or sketch or whatever it is that brings you JOY!
I’ll also be sharing insights from living a creative life as a neurodivergent woman in midlife plus peeks from London as I say goodbye to the city and relocate my life to Bath in 2025.
🐈⬛ The kittens and I can’t wait to bring you along on the ride! 🐈⬛

So if you enjoy noodling in your journal, feel happiest surrounded by your essential creative things*, love cats** and would appreciate having a creative online community that GETS IT, you’re going to love it here.
Come on in! ✨🌈✨
* could be books or tarot or paint or collage or yarn or glass or clay or baking or gardening or decorating or making mixtapes or or or…. (the list is endless!)

There are TWO ways to join Creative Joy Club:
1. As a free subscriber
2. As a paid subscriber, paying monthly or annually
As a free subscriber you have limited access to what happens here in the club but it’s a nice way to stay in touch until you feel ready to jump in! I aim to send you at least ONE video, or essay or journal prompt post each month as well as giving you sneak peeks of the shenanigans that happen here :-) PLUS our forthcoming “In the Creative Cave” interviews will always be free for everyone to enjoy. 👍
Subscribing for free gives you access to:
🩵 Sneak peeks of paid club posts, videos + shenanigans
🩵 Occasional public essays/videos and journal prompts
🩵 “In the Creative Cave with” — interviews with fellow creative souls (excited for these!!)
This is where the magic happens because as a paying subscriber you have access to ✨ EVERYTHING!! ✨
You can look forward to :
🩷 MONTHLY VIDEOS— published in the first week of the month, sharing my current creative inspirations & ponderings, peeks behind the scenes at home & in the city, what I’m reading and anything else I’m excited to share. The kittens will inevitably make guest appearances and I’m keen to practice my vlogging skills too!
🩷 WEEKLY INSPIRATION POSTS — to ponder and get us chatting
🩷 ZOOM HANGOUTS— every two months we’ll journal and create together in real time (YAS!!) They will be recorded 👍
🩷 TREATS— they will most likely be AN EXTRA VIDEO every month 😍 but could also be a tarot spread to try, seasonal journal prompts, a worksheet, a Q&A video, book recommendations or anything else that feels goooood. I’m leaving this wide open so I can bring my own creative joy to what I create for the group! ✨
🩷 COMMENTS + CONNECTION— paying members can leave comments and connect underneath all videos and posts
🩷 SPECIAL CLUB DISCOUNTS— on all my courses & workshops
🩷 Plus everything free subscribers also have access to!
✨ Paid subscriptions cost £12 GBP (monthly) or £132 GBP (annual)
Kind words from a member of Journal Love Club, my journaling membership I ran from 2021 - 2024:
Okay I’m in! How do I join?
Easy! Type your email address in the box below and hit subscribe. You’ll be taken to another page to select your subscription plan: free or paid (monthly or annual) 👍
What if I want to change or cancel my paid subscription?
You are in charge of your subscription! You can downgrade to free anytime. You can cancel completely. You can also PAUSE your paid subscription for a month or more if you need a break. 👍
Do I have to be online at a certain time?
No, all new posts/ videos will be sent direct to your inbox so you don’t have to remember to login and check. You can also read/watch/listen in the Substack app (works on iPads too!) and have the option to customise your notifications (for example, you can turn off the emails if you prefer reading in the app).
How will the Zoom hangouts work?
Our Zoom hangouts will run every two months (six times a year in total) in February, April, June, August, October and December (and most likely on Sundays). I will confirm the dates and times with members as we go! Zoom hang-outs (and replays) are for paid subscribers only — they will absolutely be recorded for cosy rewatching 👍
