PRERNA SUBRAMANIAN

Because you shouldn’t need elite access to be seen as brilliant.

I’m offering a recommendation letter service for those of you shut out of systems that ask for references from “reputable” people — as if brilliance, care, and rigour are only legible when co-signed by institutional gatekeepers.

If you’ve done the work but don’t have the “right” contacts, I’ve got you. You’ll answer a few questions so I understand your politics, your work, your rhythm — and I’ll write you a strong, context-rich rec letter.

Yes, this takes time. Yes, it’s labour.

So this is pay what you can — sliding scale, rooted in trust.

Because gatekeeping is violent, and I’d rather spend my time writing with you than defending why you deserve to be here.

This isn’t charity. This is refusal.

Of credentialism. Of pedigree. Of silence.

Let’s write new ways in.
