Mx Chris Paige (they/them pronouns) is the powerhouse behind OtherWise Engaged Publishing. They have been involved in (and instigated) numerous ground-breaking projects through the years, but, beginning in 2019, Mx Chris turned their attention to writing, editing, and publishing as they launched this new endeavor.
Their 25 years of organizing and activism prepared them for this moment:
- From a bachelor’s degree (1994) in religion (among other things) to co-founding a transgender non-profit working around religion and spirituality (2012).
- From learning the ropes at The Other Side magazine (1994) to being named publisher at that ecumenical, progressive, award-winning Christian publication.
- From that early Transfaith Online website (1999) to launching the OtherWise Christian book series (and blog) in 2019.
- From writing their first book to compiling their first anthology to publishing the work of others.
In addition to decades of lived experience, Chris facilitates relationships with an eye toward evoking deep individual and collective wisdom, which often lies hidden beneath the wounds we bear from living in an imperfect world. Mx Chris brings skillfulness as a certified community coach, trained through Leadership That Works.
