Welcome to the Office of Modern Composition's Newsletter!
We write. So do you. Let's do it together!
Hi! This is the beginning of something great.
We’re glad you’re here; and we imagine you have questions. Something like:
Who are you?
We’re a trio of Chicago-based writers and teachers who are obsessed with the practice of composing.
What are your names?
Jill Riddell,
, and .Do you have a mission you can copy + paste from your website?
Sure! “Art and nature are the two best teachers we have for how to live, grow, and change. The Office of Modern Composition produces books, podcasts, signs and products to help people thrive wisely in the modern world.”
4. Why this, why now ?
We love writing pep talks, lists, writing prompts, tutorials, reviews, and that kind of thing. We think these resources might be useful to other writers, like you! Substack is where we’d like to get our feet off the ground and build our private musings into a public party.
What kind of community are you looking to build here?
We want writers who love writing, who want to write, who are stuck, who yearn to connect, who love Chicago, who love nature, who feel a little quirky, who are interested in the conversation, and the process, and the magic that happens when we put pen to page.
How often will you publish?
At first, we’ll put out a post every Friday. We’ll build from there. Eventually, you’ll be able to pay us! But we want to earn your trust first.
Do you feel like this was too short a newsletter?
Nope! There’s a ton of future in front of us, and we’re pumped about it.
YUSSSS! I cannot wait to see what comes out of this titillating trio—looking forward to writing with yall 💖
