The Writer's Post
A Monthly Box for the Writing Life
Curated typewriter ribbons, stationery, writing tools, and literary curiosities — delivered to your door every month.
The Idea
More Than a Subscription
Every Writer's Post box is assembled by hand in our Portland workshop. We spend weeks sourcing each item — hunting down rare ribbons, commissioning small-batch stationery, and finding the kind of writing tools that make you want to sit down and write. No filler. No fluff. Just things we'd want ourselves.
"The box arrived on a grey Tuesday and turned it into something worth writing about."
Inside Every Box
What Goes Into Every Box
Typewriter Ribbons
We stock over 40 ribbon types. Each box includes at least one matched to the most popular portable models.
Small-Batch Stationery
Paper, envelopes, and notecards sourced from independent makers — things you won't find in any office supply store.
Writing Tools
Pencils, pens, wax seals, ink, and other instruments for the analogue desk.
Literary Ephemera
Vintage postcards, broadsides, prints, and curiosities with a story attached.
The Writer's Post Letter
A hand-typed letter from our workshop — the story behind this month's theme, the items, and a writing prompt.

Past Boxes
Each month has a theme. Here's a look at what recent subscribers received.

"The Long Letter"
An ode to correspondence — wax seals, heavyweight writing paper, and a ribbon in midnight blue.

"The Midnight Draft"
For the late-night writer — a candle, a black ribbon, a leather-bound notebook, and a prompt about insomnia.
April 2026
"The Field Notes"
Inspired by writers who work outdoors — a weatherproof notebook, a mechanical pencil, and a ribbon in forest green.

"I bought the Deluxe as a gift for my mother, who types on a 1963 Hermes. She called me the day it arrived and read me the letter out loud."
James R.

"The ephemera alone is worth the subscription. Last month I got a 1940s postcard from a soldier in France. I've been thinking about it ever since."
