The studio letter.
Once a month, a short letter from Albina: what we're publishing, what we're reading, and what's on our minds. Below is our archive.
On finishing things
There's a particular kind of courage required to write "The End." Not because the story is done — it rarely is — but because you've decided it's ready enough to exist without you.
What makes a book necessary
Someone asked us recently: how do you know if your book idea is "good enough?" The question, we think, is the wrong one.
A short letter on beginnings
February always feels like the real start of the year to us. The new-year energy has settled. The intentions have been tested. The ones that are still standing are the real ones.
What we carry into this year
We don't make resolutions. We make intentions. And this year, our intention is simple: fewer books, made better.
