Welcome to The Pleat

Hi, I'm Eve Batey, an independent writer, reporter and editor working out of San Francisco and Indianapolis. Thanks for checking out The Pleat! You can see my finished writing and reporting a lot of places, but I wanted a place for less structured personal work. (We once called these spaces blogs, you might have heard of them.)

If you subscribe today, you'll get full access to the website as well as email newsletters about new content when it's available. If you'd like to support my work — I'm fully self-employed, with all the joys and pains that entails — that will help me continue to write here. Your generosity can be expressed on a monthly or annual basis, and is greatly appreciated.
