- A NOTE FROM NEW YORK -

Meet Ellis Monroe

I’m Ellis Monroe. Twenty-seven, perpetually carrying a book I haven’t finished, and fortunate enough to call a little brownstone on the Upper West Side home.

By day, I work in publishing. By evening, I’m usually wandering through a bookstore, writing in my journal, or watching the city from my apartment window with a cup of tea that’s gone cold.

I’ve always thought New York was far too extraordinary to keep to myself.

So I started writing letters.

Perhaps the next one will find its way to you.

With love,

Ellis Monroe
