Hello!
My name is Stephanie Madewell, and I am an reader, writer, and editor living in a stone house in northeastern Ohio.
Long, long ago, when the internet was a smaller place, I started a blog called even*cleveland; it’s an ongoing online scrap/commonplace book, a compilation of whatever catches my eye plus an idiosyncratic array of gift guides and imaginary outfits.
This newsletter is a free-form catalog of what I’ve been reading lately, which ranges a fair bit. I read about mathematicians, moths, rocks, false gods, lonely sailors, mushrooms, and novels, bad and good. It publishes whenever I have time to write and something worthwhile to share, and it usually includes links to recent blog posts and book discoveries.
When I am not busy reading or looking at things, I edit artful books, curious magazines, and other items for Broccoli and support authors making uncommonly beautiful books.
