Selling Out by Natasha Stagg

To support my preferred lifestyle (Manhattan), I have been writing strategy, identity, press, social, internal, and ads, making my CV resemble a text-only version of some glossy’s front pages. As you can see, I’ve already Sold Out, but there’s always further to go.

Become a paid subscriber ($5, or $4.17/month when you buy a year) for more gossip and vulnerable thoughts—basically, anything beyond self-promotion and recs. If you’re undecided based on the previews, maybe read my books:

Surveys (2016)

Sleeveless (2019)

Artless (2023)

Grand Rapids (2025)

or a review:

Jane Yong Kim on Surveys (LA Times)

Rachel Syme on Sleeveless (Bookforum)

Ann Manov on Artless (Bookforum)

James Deusterberg on all three (The Point)
