I need one page about me. People keep asking for a bio.
Happy to. What should people know first: the books, the talks, or your companies?
The books, then the talks.
Here’s a first look. Tell me what to change.
What people find is pieced together.
Search a name and you get old articles, an employer’s bio and people with the same name. AI answers are built from the same pieces.
AI answers. AI describes you from whatever it finds. Your page is one source it can read, in your words.
Introductions. Before a first meeting, people look you up. Let them find the facts you would give them.
When they search your name, they find you, not a namesake.
As easy as texting. Because it is.

This week’s letter
What the panic of 1893 knew about us
Banks failed on a Tuesday. By Friday the papers had found someone to blame, and it was nobody who had done it. A letter on the oldest habit of a panic, and why we keep it.

Questions? Answers.
I’m a private person. Why a website?
People search for you anyway. A page of your own means they find the facts you would give them.
Can it push an old article down?
No one can promise that, and we don’t. Your page gives people, and search engines, an accurate source under your own name.
Can it stay modest?
Yes. One page: a short biography, your work and a way to reach you.
Can requests go to my agent or assistant?
Yes. Your page can name whoever handles speaking, press or other requests.
Who builds the website?
Humfrid, our AI assistant, builds it from your texts, and our team is a text away.
Do I need a computer?
No. Everything happens by text, from your phone. No app, no password, no login.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. It’s free to start: text us your name and what you want. You’ll know the price before you pay.
I already have a website. What happens to it?
We build you a new one. If you own your web address, it can point to the new site, and you keep or close the old one when you’re ready.
What if I want to leave?
Text us to cancel. There’s no fee to leave, and your web address is yours to take with you.
Your books, talks and press. One text away.
