It’s been a minute.
In fact, it’s been 1,342,080 minutes, more or less, since I last sent out an author newsletter.
Since then, I’ve had time to adjust to a new career in a new city, to find my footing and feel, at long last, home once more.
I’ve had time to pause, too, and to reflect: on who I was as an author, on how it affected me as a person, on what it would mean for me—and how I’d go about it—if I ever got back in the game.
Today, finally, I do.
Introducing R: On Everything
Together, we’ll elevate one word above all others. It will serve as our north star, our guiding principle in choosing what we explore and when we explore it. We will follow that word where it leads—not blindly, no, but with a sense of purpose, with a defining philosophy in place.
And that word? Curiosity. That purpose? Community.
So, let’s learn together. Let’s explore the intersections of publishing and technology, of leadership and culture and everything in between. Let’s explore everything that keeps us curious.
It won’t always be easy, but it will be worth it.
With that worthiness in mind—and with our curiosity carrying us forward—let’s get started. You’ll get an update on the EMPATHY series tomorrow, followed by the first of a new series of weekly posts beginning on Saturday.
In the meantime, happy new year, everyone. Keep curious.
Welcome back!
