This mini-interview in Book Riot led to my favorite recent discovery: Paperless Posts. Apparently, this mostly online correspondence company draws inspiration from their literary background when drafting the sample print for their invitations and cards. An invitation to the Kennedy family’s Easter party at the White House in 1961, for example. A Mother’s Day card from Sigmund Freud. You get the idea.

And if you need a fiction fix until our next piece publishes on Monday, check out “All She Had” by Jessica Richardson in Hobart Pulp. A story about a girl and her grandfathers.
