What is it: A short explanation for why we’re choosing to graft a culture blog to our indie press website.

Perfect for: People interested in an affirmation-based critical approach that exists beyond the academic structure, or who just like to hear about cool things.

Hi there, internet stranger! We here at Folly X.O. love books, and since our inception have tried to share the word about great reads that resonate with our house style. That’s swell, but there are many more things we would like to share with you. Music, film, art, random esoteric life detritus… if it’s culture it counts! We’ll do our best to explain why things are interesting in a short and succinct bite-sized format. If you like our groove, maybe you should sign up to our Newsletter. We won’t bombard you with emails, just one every now and then when a new TWL / Staff Pick drops or a big book milestone happens in our development pipeline.

Have a hot tip on something you think we might enjoy? Drop us a line.
