ON STYLEWRITING

ON STYLEWRITING - a chat

This pocketbook began as a single conversation — between a writer with thirty-five years inside the culture and an AI — and emerged, without a script, as something rare: a text that articulates what stylewriting truly is. Not a history. Not a photo book. A manifesto, a philosophy, a creed.

From the culture and its hierarchy, to stylewriting as existential practice — existential before aesthetic — to a manifesto, a set of devotions, and a daily mantra writers will recognize as their own.

The second half pays tribute to the legendary Study of Style format from BACKJUMPS Magazine: eight writers including T-KID, KET, PART 1, WANE, KOMET, CYRUS, NOMADSKI, and RUEDIONE, each given the same word, each producing an entirely different language.

For writers who have lived it but never seen it described like this. And for everyone who ever walked past a wall and wondered.

The author, Ruediger Glatz — co-founder of Montana Cans, artist, photographer, entrepreneur, almost daily sketcher since 2021 — brought thirty-five years of lived experience to this conversation.
