À propos de Naomi Ashcroft
Naomi Ashcroft spent six years writing compliance notes for a freight-forwarding trade newsletter before joining the Almanac at its founding in 2019. She reads service agreements for a living and keeps a printed copy of each agent's terms in a lever-arch file, annotated in pencil with the date of every revision. At the desk she sets the quarterly re-check calendar and signs off every guide that quotes a fee, a deadline, or a clause. She lives in Portland and is unreasonably attached to her label printer.
