Paige McKay Kubik

Paige McKay Kubik has written as an advocate for marginalized communities over a 40-year career in human services and social work. She has studied creative writing at Florida State University, Emory University, and Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, and is active in critique groups with Tallahassee Writers Association, Atlanta Writers Club, and editor Wayne South Smith. Paige is currently writing a novel inspired by her time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Central America during the Reagan administration. She is also creating a collection of short stories that chronicle the oral tradition passed down from her family of Southern storytellers. Paige has read from these stories and her personal essays at Katee Tully's Word Garden, hosted at Tallahassee Nurseries.

After 35 years living in Atlanta, Paige recently moved her empty nest to a lakeside home in Quincy where she enjoys watching white squirrels and blue herons from her writing desk. When she's not at Lake Talquin or in her FSU office, you can find Paige playing her clarinet on the streets of Tallahassee with the Lofty Pursuits Band.
