Long Read
The best longform journalism.
Every Sunday.
The goal of The Sunday Long Read newsletter is simple: To put the past week’s best journalism in your hands every Sunday morning—or, as a friend said, “to screw up my Sundays with far too much great stuff to read.”
“The Sunday Long Read is kind of like a dream social media feed—it’s impeccably curated, thoughtful, and introduces me to writers and publications that I don’t come across in my day-to-day reading.”
Mina Kimes

Air Mail
“Reading The Sunday Long Read is like working toward my PhD in life…. I feel so great about the future of journalism when I read these great pieces.“
Peter King
