§ 01
01 / Observe
Write down a small thing.
We collect everyday observations. First we look for a question we don't want to let go of.
02 / Select
Leave room for the reader.
We shorten sentences and check how they connect. To us the margin is a place for your thoughts, not for missing text.
03 / Compose
Give thoughts a shape.
We match the rhythm, the paper and the edge of the page. Nothing here is for sale.
Write to the editors.
