Automattic is home to two excellent publications, Longreads and Atavist. Longreads recently celebrated its 15th anniversary, and Atavist recently celebrated its 150th issue. Both huge milestones in publishing!

The teams celebrated in New York City with public readings and private parties. When they shared the recap, I noticed one of the giveaways from the evening was a Moleskin notebook with the phrase, “Every good story starts with a blank page.” on the cover. This resonated so much. I love a good story. I love a good notebook. The blank page excites me with the idea of so many possibilities. I commented on their recap, and a few days later, I received an unexpected package. Upon opening it, I found a few of these books! I squealed with delight. So many stories waiting to be written!
