Letters to the Editor

Written by us, pretending to be you

The Author

Identity withheld. Burnout confirmed.
Retro comic portrait of Bernie Out, face hidden behind a newspaper, deerstalker hat on top, coffee and in-tray on the desk Artist's impression. No photograph exists.

Bernie Out

House author. Whereabouts unknown, probably on mute.

Burned out across multiple professions, time zones and reporting structures. After 10+ years of setting boundaries too late, Bernie arrived at one insight: writing is cheaper than therapy.

Nobody at the Press has met Bernie. The manuscripts arrive on time, which is itself suspicious.
