About
The Studio
Self Esteem is a small editorial studio publishing essays on attention, motivation, and the work of being a person in 2026.
We are a small, distributed group of writers and editors. We publish slowly — usually one essay a month, occasionally a longer issue. We do not chase breaking news. We are interested in what survives the silence after.
What we publish
Long-form essays, occasional interviews, and reading lists. Most issues sit on a single question and turn it over for ten or twelve pages. Nothing is sponsored. Nothing is paywalled.
People
- Richard Carnation — editor, essays on attention.
