At Holloway, we imagine a place on the web where depth, quality, and high-value writing are the norm. A place where expertsβ ideas are accessible to anyone. Where thoughtful, inclusive, and well-written resources win over quick takes, self-promoting blog posts, and content marketing.
We believe you, the reader, know the difference. Itβs the 2020s. You recognize sites riddled with ads and clickbait headlines. Deep and comprehensive resources take expertise, time, and money to build. By buying access to this title, youβre supporting a place online that makes longform reading a pleasureβand allowing us to pay authors, contributors, engineers, and editors who build and improve them. Holloway is a new and powerful way to publish. We hope youβll join us on the journey.
