About Us

The editorial staff of the LetterPost can be contacted at: theletterpost@gmail.com


The Letterpost is a letterboxing fanzine that focuses on the creative and non traditional aspects of letterboxing and hand carved stamps, and those who participate in this community. We feel the need to reconnect with the paper, the ink, the artwork that makes Letterboxing a truly enjoyable hobby for the creative mind. This Zine does not focus on the trail, the hike, or the hide. Instead, we focus on the carving, the clue writing, the art of the logbook. We thrive and thrill at the Non-traditional forms of boxing that see us through long cold winters or scorching hot summers, when being inside doesn't mean you can't Letterbox.

If you like the smell of the ink, the feel of the paper, and the rush of a hand-made stamp that turns out just the way you envisioned it, then this is the Zine for you.

Join others in the Letterboxing community who feel the same way.
