Rules to Live By: 18 Creative Manifestos

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.

50% of profits from this digital zine will be donated to the Corita Art Center, a nonprofit celebrating the teachings of artist-educator-activist Corita Kent. The center has been doing incredible work supporting folks impacted from the Los Angeles wildfires, and I am thrilled to facilitate this opportunity to give back in Corita’s name.
