How to get started.
01
Connect Your Sources
Add your Substack accounts, RSS feeds, and newsletter subscriptions. If you're like us, you'll have a long list to pick from and you'll be eager to get offline.
02
We Typeset Your Issue
Every essay is composed for the printed page: proper columns, photos rendered, and endnotes for every URL. How do we do it? Alchemy, mostly.
03
Printed & Perfect-Bound
Your personal issue is printed on quality stock, perfectly bound, and handed off to a global network of delivery elves. It sounds like Christmas to me.

The quality is remarkable. I honestly didn't expect something so well-made at this price point. Each issue looks better than magazines I pay more for.R. Stavros · Subscriber
