From the Editor

One signed letter opens every issue: where the month came from, where it is going, and how we work.

What lives in this section

One letter opens every issue of The Alborán. The editors sign it, and it says where the month came from and where it is going.

This is the leader. A monthly note on the state of the publication, honest about what we are still learning and plain about how the thing is actually made. We would rather tell you than leave you to guess.

If you want to know who we are and how we work, start here. Every issue, one letter, signed.
