Literature blog, parchment and serif

Build a website for Elias Thorne, a novelist who writes a literary blog. Warm parchment-grey background. The hero splits his name in a large elegant serif either side of a black-and-white portrait with a thick beard, an open book with handwriting below, and a small 'Subscribe to my newsletter' box with an email field on the right. Then a centred small label and serif heading 'New literature posts' over a two-row grid of six posts, each with a black-and-white or muted photo (an empty beach, a woman's face, a pen on paper, a writing desk, a group of figures, a road) and an uppercase serif title with small meta. A pale band announces the 'Fifteenth annual short story and essay writing expo' with a paragraph and a cluster of publisher logos, followed by a book reviews section with a book cover. Classic serif headings in small caps, muted greys and warm parchment, black-and-white photography.
