Galena House
Galena House

The Map of the House.

Two houses, and every room in them — drawn at last, so the whole world fits in one look.
Start here

The desks, untangled.

These five are what tangle you up. They look alike; they do different jobs. Here is which is which.
✦The Correspondence Room
averylanemaxwell.com/press/correspondence/desk/
Your real newsletter sender — writes & sends to your author list through Resend. This is the one that sent “Come in, it’s already warm.”
The Newsletter Desk
galena.house/studio/newsletter/
The Frisco Inn’s newsletter — built section by section, copied into VerticalResponse. Bruce’s audience, not yours.
The Letter Room
galena.house/studio/letters/
A second door onto the same author list — write a House letter from the Studio side.
The Correspondence System
galena.house/correspondence/
Not a sender — the supply closet: email templates, your four signatures, the design system.
(retired) old Correspondence room
averylanemaxwell.com/press/correspondence/
Redirects to The Correspondence Room. Ignore it.
