Happy Valentine’s Day from Candour Publishing. Remember, if you don’t have a living, breathing Valentine to celebrate this year, snuggle up with a good book instead. Romance, anyone?

Who should write a book? Poets? Authors? Professors?

Everyone.

Every individual has lived a completely different life, with endless stories to share, experiences to learn from and unforgettable memories to look back upon.

Now you can keep these stories to yourself or pass them on to family and friends, but conversations are fleeting and life is busier by the minute. But, writing them down? A completely different story.

Writing, in whatever form, is a way to solidify these experiences, learnings and wisdom, to lock it into history and weave into the threads that will carry on for decades to come.

The best part about Candour Publishing is that we are most advantageous to independent authors, allowing our writers to express their stories exactly the way they want them to be told.

We at Candour are doing things differently for a reason. No over editing, no plot changes for the sake of mass consumption. We value authenticity and truth over anything, and hope this brings a sigh of relief to those fearful of being turned down by traditional publishers. Now, what are you waiting for? Get those stories on paper and let’s make you a published author!

Introducing Candour's Read of the Week: Elemental by 2016 Pritzker Prize-winner Alejandro Aravena.

Elemental, based in Santiago, Chile, epitomizes a new generation of pioneering, socially engaged architects. The firm specializes in innovative, powerful, and humane public-interest projects, working on both large and small scales across Chile, the United States, Mexico, Switzerland, and China.

Featuring stunning images by renowned architectural photographers together with sketches and drawings from Aravena's personal notebooks, this book beautifully, often irreverently, displays Elemental's unique working methods and philosophy. Each project - from iconic structures like the Anacleto Angelini UC Innovation Centre to seaside residences and pioneering reconstruction plans - is accompanied by Aravena's engaging texts, bringing to life his understanding of civil society and the built environment.
