What we’re about

Tusk & Quill is a publication exploring what it means to 'live well' in America.

Our aim is to foster an ecosystem that cultivates ideas and drives action toward lasting, collective well-being.

We do this by curating thoughtful writing, artwork, podcast discussions, and events that are anchored in our thesis that, in order to 'live well', we must:

  1. Deeply understand the various dimensions of America – its local histories, natural landscapes, institutions, and cultural trends, such that we develop a genuine connection to the land and the life that inhabits it
  2. Engage in constructive discourse – developing and presenting well-reasoned arguments on how we think things ought to be, and debating those ideas in good faith
  3. Promote high-agency community-orientedness – spotlighting initiatives and organizations that exemplify it, and appreciating the practical realities of putting creative solutions into action
  4. Develop an intuition for holistic 'well-being' – sharing practices, theories and personal experiments to develop a sense of what it feels like to work towards a state of well-being, and what it takes to maintain it

We believe these four endeavors will enable us to 'live well', and they form the basis of the publication, our four segments: Culture, Discourse, Community, and Well-Being.
