THE
PRONOIA
EFFECT

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't your circumstances, but the way you've learned to survive them?

A true storyBy Brooke Hall
“Forgiveness is difficult work, but it's the first step on the way to generous contribution and a chance to be fully awake and alive. Brooke's book is an epic poem, a journey and a practice.”

About Brooke

A life of
making things.

An arts magazine.
A citywide festival.
A creative agency.
And now, a memoir.

My work has always brought together creativity and community. I co-founded What Weekly and Light City in Baltimore, and founded What Works Studio. My first book tells the personal story behind those years, and what came next.

The Pronoia Effect is that story.
