Our Values

Slowpost is built on the principle of meaningful, thoughtful annual correspondence. We believe in creating a space where people can share authentic updates with their communities without the pressure of constant engagement.

Annual Post Guidelines

Your annual post is an opportunity to share a meaningful update with your community. Consider:

• Reflection: What were the highlights of your year?
• Authenticity: Share what matters to you, not what you think others want to hear
• Connection: How can you help your readers feel connected to your life?
• Respect: Remember that your subscribers have chosen to receive your update
