Somewhere in the world, someone is curious about a life they've never lived. The place you always return to. The recipe you still talk about. The tradition your family refuses to let disappear.
Postscript collects stories like these and shares them through a monthly printed letter. You do not need to be a writer. You only need something real to share.
The stories people remember are rarely the biggest ones.
They're the traditions families continue year after year. The local gathering everyone looks forward to. The view someone never gets tired of seeing. The lesson passed down through generations. The small details that help explain what life feels like somewhere else.
Sometimes all it takes is one story to make a stranger feel a little closer to the people living there.
Why We Collect Stories
I read every submission with care and gather the stories, memories, and perspectives that feel worth passing along. Those pieces become part of future Postscript editions, helping readers experience more of the world through the lives of real people.
You provide the perspective.
I provide the thread.
How It Works
Think small. The best stories often start with an ordinary detail.
Not sure what we're looking for?
Be specific. Names, places, meals, sounds, and objects help bring stories to life.
Tell us why it matters. We're less interested in facts and more interested in meaning.
Write like you talk. You don't need to sound like a writer. Just sound like yourself.
Share something real. If it helps someone understand your corner of the world, you're in the right place.
