NextDraft is a daily e-newsletter that contains a curation of the best web content of the day. It starts with the subject line, which is usually a play on words or a clever one-liner on the top news of the day. It then extends to the body of the email itself, which is always descriptive, accurate, and clever. The author scours dozens of sites, finds the most fascinating news stories, and then provides a fast, pithy summary. NextDraft is also littered with anecdotes and witty references.

"On any given day, Dave turns up the top 10 stories that are important, moving, hilarious, and just weird. Next Draft finds the signal in all the noise."

Bob Cohn, President, The Atlantic


"Dave finds stuff I didn't see but should have. Add that to his drop-dead sexiness and you've got yourself an indispensable newsletter."

Steve Bodow, Executive Producer, The Daily Show


"Think of Dave Pell as the Internet’s managing editor. The NYT meets SNL. Smart, funny, essential."

Phil Bronstein, Chair, Center for Investigative Reporting


"A consistently informative and entertaining guide to some of the best stories on the web, with a healthy mix of news you should know, want to know, and prefer to pretend you didn't read."

Maria Konnikova, The New Yorker


"If you like technology, ideas and culture, subscribe to the mind of Dave Pell."

Rainn Wilson, The Office


"Dave is an expert at picking through the deluge and serving up the day's best stories from a huge variety of websites."
