Poppy’s Slow Mail Club
A Monthly Pause, Away From Your Phone.
Do you remember when getting a letter through the post was an event? When they arrived from pen pals, relatives that lived far away, or friends who lived down the road…just because you could? Reading them felt exciting, and like something really special. I bet you even had a little box that you stored them in, didn’t you? Because letters were meant to be kept, and read over and over again.
Poppy’s Slow Mail Club might look like a Substack newsletter – and it can be, if that’s what you’re looking for – however it is so much more than that.
What To Expect:
And yes, there’s an actual letter. A real, physical, written-by-Poppy letter, arriving through your door once a month. Optional, but strongly encouraged.
- Weekly book reviews
- Random scribblings are thoughtful and delivered straight to your inbox, so you can avoid the doomscrolling and join Poppy’s world. Musings on analog life, creativity, life and whatever Poppy feels like chatting about, with plenty of weird detours along the way (in the best possible way).
- You’ll also have access to monthly Spotify playlists, inspired by that months letter
- First looks at letters that are available to purchase from Poppy
- Discounts on all letters, bundles, writing kits and bespoke letters that are exclusive to paid subscribers **COMING SOON**
- Zero urgency. Honestly, read each “letter” in your own time, in your own way, with absolutely no pressure.
Who’s It For?
Burned-out people. Writers. Pen Pal enthusiasts (reply to Poppy if you like, or we’re hoping to have a full Pen Pal option eventually). Anyone who has ever wished their inbox felt less like a to-do list of emails we know we should deal with, and more like a letterbox.
Basically: if you have ever sent a handwritten letter, wanted to, or just miss when communication had a little more ceremony, rather than short messages that demand instant attention – this is the right place for you.
