Today, we reveal 14 celebrated and award winning creative talents for Project: SET THE PAGE FREE.
A few weeks ago, I explained on this blog how Xerox enables this collaboration between world-renowned writers and artists who will tell the story of the modern workplace. But I didn’t tell you who the writers, artists and author are.
Today, we reveal this unparalleled array of contributors on www.SetThePageFree.com, as well as short video documentaries, exclusive photos, book excerpts and podcasts for the first wave of artists. Take a look at the first wave of videos and podcasts that we posted on YouTube below.
It’s no coincidence that yesterday was National Read a Book Day. As I write this, we are gathering the authors’ stories and we will publish them in an eBook, which will be available in early November. Moreover, we’ve timed our “reveal” to National Literacy Month, which matches nicely with our charitable donations to Worldreader and 92nd Street Y in support of global literacy.
Go to SetThePageFree.com and sign up for real time updates, videos, podcasts, and the eBook. The site also showcases the Xerox technology, software and apps made this epic collaboration possible.
Meet the authors
Lee Child, blockbuster author of the Jack Reacher thriller series, says he creates suspense by withholding information. “You ask a question or imply it, and do not answer it until the end.” (I like how this video features Xerox DocuShare Flex.)

Joshua Ferris is the author of The Dinner Party and Other Stories, and Then We Came to an End. Find out what a truck, a flip phone, and note cards have in common. As Joshua talks about his secrets to observing the world and writing about it, notice how easy it is to work from anywhere with the @PrintbyXerox app … even a truck.
