We’re the freest, the funnest, the flexible-est. We’re co-equals as writers, best pals as revisers.
We take creative liberties to a whole new level, too: no page count, no uniform voice, no first
right answers.
The rest is fair game.
Fast news isn’t our thing. We like to muse over music, probe pop culture, write what we think is right.
Artist bios, film critiques, series reviews—we have it all.
