What makes a creative life? How does one maintain a sustainable practice?

In Rules to Live By, eighteen writers & artists weigh in on what drives their publications and their life’s work. Here you can find their handwritten five-point manifestos: each unique to their character but also universal in desire and experience.

Contributors include Coleen Baik, Dan Blank, Anna Brones, Lian Cho, Kristen Drozdowski, Kelcey Ervick, Petya Grady, Amelia Hruby, Nishant Jain, Adam Ming, Jenna Park, Meera Lee Patel, Michelle Pellizzon, Beth Spencer, Nina Veteto, Mitchell Volk, Seth Werkheiser, and Carolyn Yoo.

The first edition of this zine was printed at RisoLAB in New York, NY in 2025 by Carolyn Yoo and handbound with matching orange spiral coil.

You have the option to purchase a non-perforated or perforated book. The perforated option is recommended if you'd like to easily tear out any contributor's manifesto as a 4x6" mini print for your gallery wall or office. The top portion will remain a complete zine, with each contributor's rules repeated on the back.
