Notes from the curators

The Journal.

A small magazine — released alongside the marketplace, written for members and made in public. The makers we trust, the tables we keep, and the things worth slowing down for.

This week's lead.

For writers

The Correspondents.

The Journal is written by people who actually go — to the dinner, the trip, the workshop. If you have something worth telling our members about, apply to write for us. A small, considered byline you'll be paid for, alongside an audience that reads with intent.

  1. i.

    Sign up.

    An email and a name. The same starting line as a member application — only the seat is different.

  2. ii.

    Tell us what you'd write.

    A short application: your interests, the columns you'd want to author, and a sample of your voice. Anything you've already published is welcome.

  3. iii.

    The Lavish team reads it.

    Every word, by hand. We reply within days. If we see a fit, we'll bring you in for a brief conversation about cadence, columns, and pay.

  4. iv.

    Begin writing.

    Publish under your name in The Journal. Build a following inside the membership — and a public byline you can carry anywhere.

A real human reads each application.
The Daily Brief

One letter, every morning.

The Brief is for members — but a sample edition can be sent to anyone. Leave your email and we'll pick a Tuesday.
