About

The Glass Post [is] an online literary magazine dedicated to showcasing raw, heartfelt storytelling in all its forms. Here, we celebrate prose, poetry, and creative letters—writing that captures the essence of human experience, whether grounded in reality, shaped by dreams, or driven by desire.

One of our most cherished aspects is the letters section. We invite writers to craft poetic, creative letters—letters to a passed family member, a friend you love, an ex, a partner, a could-have-been, an enemy, your dog, whatever! These letters serve as a bridge between what was, what is, and what could have been, offering a unique, deeply personal form of storytelling.

At The Glass Post, we embrace writing that is moving and unfiltered. Whether you want to capture the beauty of everyday life, imagination, explore your deepest emotions, or share a piece of your heart through a letter, this is the space to do so.

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting 56 days, assume your submission will not be accepted.
