The Letterbox

is an analog magazine produced by Abigail Geffken, as mentioned in a CBS interview, aired in Boston and nationwide, November 2021.

The Letterbox is a twenty-page magazine produced entirely by typewriter and in handwritten ink, which is scanned, printed, sewn, and mailed to a select number of subscribers four times a year.

The Letterbox was founded at the start of the pandemic as a way of keeping in touch with friends and relatives and grew from there.

It was inspired by Cricket, the literary magazine for children, founded in the '70s by Blouke and Marianne Carus.
