About

Letters from the Floor is a publication about the human texture of business — the conversations, encounters, and forms of memory that turn strangers into colleagues, customers, and friends.

We cover the parts of professional life that don't show up in the metrics dashboard: the trade show floor at the end of a long day; the lunch that becomes a five-year partnership; the trick a veteran salesperson uses to remember the name of every spouse and child of every account she works with. We are interested in commerce as a fundamentally human practice — older than capitalism, older than the corporation, as old as the first market.

We publish weekly. We are independent.
