The Manual
Yesterday Issue #2 of The Manual arrived. I cracked it open to read just one article before bed and wound up reading the entire thing straight through. I really do love that this publication exists. Sure, these articles would make fine blog posts, but there’s something about reading The Manual without the glow of a window-filled monitor or sound of email notification dings to stifle your attention. It gives one the space to think about their work beyond the tasks directly in front of them. Plus, it’s nice to read a string of articles that feel lovingly pulled together and beautifully presented.
I’m honored to have been a part of this Issue alongside, Alex, Mark, Karen, Cennydd, and Josh. Also, it was thrilling to see something I’d written elevated by the illustration work of Paul Blow.
Gosh, what an across-the-board privilege. Thank you to Andy, Carolyn, and Jez for the opportunity. Be sure to visit alwaysreadthemanual.com and snag yourself an annual subscription.
