A WORKING NOTEBOOK BY EMILY REEVES DEAN
Deliberately curious.
Occassionally interesting.
I read more than 100 books a year, spend my days making order from chaos at an ad agency, and write about the connections in between: books, media, marketing, technology, and the occasional cocktail.
Three ways in. One through-line: connecting ideas that don’t usually sit together.
01
Reader
What I’m reading and why it stuck. Reviews, reading lists, and the books I keep pushing on people.
02
Writer
Essays that connect a book, a tool, or a brand to something it has no business being connected to.
03
Seeker
Experiments, tools, places, and gear. I test more things than any reasonable person should, so you don’t have to.

THE LETTER
One letter a month. Worth opening.
Books worth your time, tools worth your money, and one idea I can’t stop turning over. Written for people with too many jobs and not enough time to test everything themselves.
