Quite Broken is a new studio for creative self-help, rooted in artful, rigorous inquiry

Seems to us, typical self-help flows from the assumption of knowing authority and proceeds to swear a promise of change or cure

But in our feel of things, meaningful help often depends on being seen in struggle—and seeubg the nature of the big struggles with compassion and curiosity.

At Quite Broken, we try to articulate the good questions, not dispense with easy answers. And we invite artists, journalists and humanists to probe these questions with study and play

Free from pretense of authority, we embrace short, whimsical forms— slim and affordable books; t-shirts; stickers and pins, etc. Wherever possible we bring editorial offerings into community with live experiences

We hope this brief introduction is an invitation, too. Talk back on Substack. Join our mailing list. Help shape the books we’re making. And for God’s sake do please introduce yourself.
