About the author
Hello, I am Ellis.
I spent fifteen years making things for other people's deadlines, and then I started writing down what actually helped. Small Hours is that notebook, edited and sent on Sundays.
I reply to every message myself, usually on Monday morning, usually with a question of my own.
Next Sunday, in your inbox.
One letter. No tracking pixels, no ads, no urgency.
