Published Layouts

Short-form Commentary

Use this second section for shorter commentary pieces, festival dispatches, or fast-turn reactions. The split layout lets you keep long-form essays and shorter critical writing in the same visual system without flattening them into one archive.

Long-form Interviews

A template for edited conversations and profile-driven pieces

This section is designed for interviews that keep a strong sense of voice while still delivering structure and argument. It can hold a polished Q&A, a reported conversation, or a profile built from multiple interviews.

Profiles and Character-led Reporting

A template for personality-driven journalism. Use this page for a reported profile, a series around one public figure, or a package that combines short intros, interview excerpts, and links out to published work.
