Contact

Write to the studio.

Thoughtful messages are welcome — from creators, readers, partners, and anyone interested in the work the studio is making.

Whether you have a manuscript or a project you are shaping, an idea for a conversation, a question about a class, or a press request, we would like to hear from you. Short notes are welcome; longer ones too. Every message is read, and we respond as promptly as the week allows.

When You Write

A brief note on inquiries.

There is one address for everything. To help us route your note quickly, a line or two about which of these you're writing about is welcome.

  • Publishing & manuscripts

    Books, fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and proposals. Include a short description, the genre, and any sample pages you are comfortable sharing.

  • Collaborations

    Joint projects across publishing, media, education, or multimedia. Tell us who you are and the shape of the idea in a sentence or two.

  • Media & conversations

    Podcast guest suggestions, interview requests, and conversation ideas. Include the subject and any relevant timing.

  • Education & workshops

    Questions about classes and creative development, or proposals for teaching something through the studio.

  • Press & general

    Press inquiries — please note your outlet and deadline — and anything that does not fit neatly above.
