Guest Window is a Studio feature where we occasionally spotlight other people’s work — one resonant piece at a time, with a brief introduction and a single link. It isn’t a full reprint or cross‑post; it’s a curated opening in the House, a window where one creator’s work is invited in and held with care.
Each Guest Window includes:
a short Studio introduction
a 120–150 word “window” written by the featured creator
one clean link to the original piece in your space
Readers stay inside the Kirenya experience, but the window opens outward.
The work itself remains in your house. The window is the view.
What Makes a Good Fit
Guest Window lives near the kinds of questions and textures the Studio cares about — story, system, and inner life.
Pieces that tend to fit well:
reflective essays and inner-life meditations
dream-centered, liminal, or threshold narratives
structural or satirical pieces that interrogate systems and stories
work that speaks to practice, process, and the architectures of strategy, operations, or systemic insight
speculative, world-driven, or myth-leaning pieces that could sit near the Studio’s longform fictional worlds
fragments of worldbuilding or lore with emotional and conceptual depth
language-aware craft — attention to sentence, rhythm, and image
pieces that sit in real dialogue with these concerns, whether they echo, expand, or thoughtfully challenge them
Across all of this, we look for work shaped with care — pieces that are willing to think with the reader, even when they approach things differently than the Studio usually does.
If your work lives anywhere near story, system, and inner life, there may be a window for it here.
A Note on Alignment
Guest Window isn’t limited to work that mirrors our views. Sometimes the most resonant pieces are the ones that press gently on our assumptions or look at shared questions from another angle.
We’re open to that kind of difference when it is grounded, respectful, and attentive to nuance. Selection is at the Studio’s discretion, with attention to fit with Kirenya’s ethos of care, curiosity, and non-harm.
How the Feature Works
You choose the piece
Select the work you’d like to highlight. It should already be published on your own site, newsletter, or platform.
You send a short window
Send an email from an address that can receive replies, and include:
a link to the piece
a 120–150 word window introducing it — what it is, where it sits in your body of work, and what kind of reader might appreciate it
If your piece is selected, the Studio will:
reply to confirm the feature and approximate timing
add a brief Studio frame, if helpful, and schedule the feature inside the Guest Window section
share a post that includes your introduction and a single clean link back to the full piece in your space
Where it appears
The Guest Window post will:
be emailed to readers who receive Guest Window posts
be published as a free public entry on www.yes.kirenya.com and collected under the Guest Window section.
Reciprocal features are welcome when they feel natural, and always optional.
How to Participate
If you’d like to be considered for an upcoming Guest Window, send an email with the details described in How the Feature Works above.
You’re also welcome to mention how you found Kirenya or which Studio threads you feel closest to — this helps with alignment.
Practical Notes
Guest Window is a curated feature. Reaching out does not guarantee a selection or a response, although all submissions are read with appreciation.
This is an unpaid spotlight. Rights to the work remain with you, and the original piece stays in your own publication or site.
Thank you for bringing thoughtful work into the world.
Guest Window is one way this Studio stays in conversation with the creators, writers, and readers who move alongside it.
