What can you expect?
With Longform Profiles, you’ll get two emails each week. The first is a curated selection of the best longform journalism from around the web, featuring engaging stories about cultural icons, groundbreaking entrepreneurs, unique communities, historical figures, and more.
In the second email each week, we bring you our interview series, where we go behind the scenes with the journalists who craft these stories. Each conversation provides a closer look at their process, what sparks their curiosity, and the challenges they encounter in bringing these narratives to life. It’s a chance to understand how quality journalism is made and to connect with the voices shaping the stories we feature.

Longform Profiles is for anyone who loves quality journalism and enjoys reading stories with depth. Whether you’re passionate about profiles, looking for inspiration as a writer, or just appreciate a good read, this newsletter is for you.
