Wild Valley Post
A snail mail club · Prescott, Arizona

Mail you'll actually want to open.

Once a month, a fat envelope shows up with a letter, a few small things worth keeping, and something to send on. Pen pals and letter-writing nights included.

$12 a month, or $120 a year. Add the kids' envelope for $6. Cancel whenever, no hard feelings.

Inside a typical envelope

Every one is stuffed by hand at a kitchen table in Prescott. No two months match, but these four things are always in the mix.

  • The monthly envelope

    A letter from us, something to read, something to keep, and something to send on. The kind of mail that ends up on the fridge.

    first week of the month

  • A pen pal

    Tick the box when you join and we'll match you with another member, near or far. We send the first prompt so nobody stares at a blank page.

    included · optional

  • Letter-writing nights

    A long table, good paper, good pens, stamps, snacks, and people who also miss writing letters. Bring your pile of overdue thank-yous.

    Prescott & Prescott Valley, monthly

  • Mail for kids

    A smaller envelope addressed to them, not you. Things to color, things to mail back, and a reason to race to the mailbox.

How joining works

  1. Join above

    Pick monthly or annual, add the kids' envelope if you like, then give Stripe your mailing address and card. Two minutes, tops.

  2. We get to work

    Your name goes on the next month's list. If you asked for a pen pal, we start looking for your match and send the first prompt.

  3. Check the mailbox

    Envelopes go out in the first week of each month. Change your address, pause, or cancel any time from your account page.

Part of Wild Valley

The Post is one branch of a small collective growing out of Prescott: weddings and events, a moms' village, a social society, and someday a studio with a door you can walk through. See the whole stamp album.

Coming up
