​Luke writes the popular Welcome to Hell World newsletter where he writes about issues from a leftist perspective typically in stream-of-consciousness style essays. He previously wrote about music, cocktails, and culture in Boston and later moved to bigger publications such as Esquire, The Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, The Guardian, Playboy, and many more. His newsletter writing is darkly funny and he’s not afraid to broach charged topics with his strong opinions. 

​Agenda

​In this conversation with Lyle, we’ll learn about:

• ​Luke’s move from traditional journalism to independent newsletter writing

• ​How he developed his unique writing style

• ​How he generates writing ideas

• ​Running a paid, independent newsletter

• ​His book publishing experience with a small indie publisher for his books Welcome to Hell World and Lockdown in Hell World

​Afterward, we’ll do a Q&A with the group where Luke can answer any questions that come up.
