Collector FAQs
Postscript is a monthly letter that introduces you to someone, somewhere.
Each edition is built around a real person and the stories, traditions, photographs, memories, and little details that shape their world. It isn't a travel guide or a magazine—it's a chance to briefly step into someone else's life.
- A thoughtfully written letter
- A featured story
- A few printed discoveries that deepen the experience
- Access to optional online extras if you'd like to explore further
No two editions are exactly alike.
No.
Every edition stands on its own.
If you join in October, you won't feel like you've missed the beginning of a story. Instead, you'll simply meet someone new.
No.
Think of it more like correspondence.
Each edition is slower, more personal, and intentionally designed to be something you keep—not skim and recycle.
I mail Postscript around the 15th of every month.
US collectors usually receive their letter within about a week. International delivery can take a little longer.
Join before the 11th at 11:59 PM ET and you'll receive that month's edition as your first envelope.
Orders placed after the cutoff begin with next month's edition.
Depending on when you join, your subscription renewal may happen before your first envelope arrives.
For example, if you subscribe after this month's cutoff, your first letter won't ship until the following month's mailing.
Don't worry—you haven't missed anything.
Mail occasionally takes the scenic route.
If you haven't received your letter by the end of the month (or after about six weeks internationally), send me an email and I'll happily help with a replacement.

I'm looking for perspective—not performance.
Postscript is curator-led, which means submissions may quietly become part of a future edition without a long selection process.
If I need additional details or permissions, I'll reach out.
