01What you get

Three things, no more.

  1. 01

    Each essay, before it's public

    Subscribers receive every chapter of the book the day it publishes, before it's archived to the public list. Roughly a week of head start per essay.

  2. 02

    An annual reading list

    Once a year, in late December, a reading list of the work that's shaped the practice in the year just gone: books, essays, papers, services. Sent only to subscribers.

  3. 03

    Notes from the chapter in hand

    Occasional short notes from the chapter currently being written: a question being chewed on, a passage worth arguing with, something worth a reader's eye before it lands in the manuscript.

02How the newsletter runs
