Why Postpile exists

People follow a lot of good writers. Most of what those writers publish piles up in inboxes and read-later apps. The intent is there. The reading rarely happens.

Screens are noisy and never end. Deep reading needs a smaller, quieter container, and one that finishes.

Not a new place to write. A new place your writing goes.

Writers publish wherever they already publish. Postpile takes that work and prints it for the readers who chose them. Every reader's magazine is different, because every reader's list is different.

How it works

1

Readers pick writers.

At least five writers you already read.

2

We build each issue.

Recent pieces from that reader's list, with images, designed as a magazine.

3

We print and mail it.

Once a month, full colour.

Principles

Nothing for writers to do.

Sign once. No submitting, no approving.

Finishable by design.

Five or six essays. No ads, no comments, no feed.

We're in early pilot. If this sounds right to you as a reader or a writer, we'd like to hear from you.
