About Paperback Post

Paperback Post encourages connection, joy, and a love of reading! Our handmade bookish goods are designed to bring people together and build a community amongst book lovers. From apparel to stationery, all products feature hand drawn, original designs and are crafted locally in Toronto. Paperback Post was born in May 2024 but this journey began much earlier than that. Much like many book-loving millennials, I was huge reader as a kid. My love started with mystery novels - most notably the Stevie Diamond Mysteries and Nancy Drew! Then came the Vampire Diaries and Twilight, mixed with sappy romances and any Jodi Picoult novel. And then enter UNIVERSITY. I truly stopped reading for many years until I discovered self-help books and non-fiction. Needless to say, these pushed me further into a reading slump that persisted for many years. Queue the post-pandemic world, the lack of community, and feeling totally lost. I was craving the need for creativity and seeking a way to connect with others. My husband encouraged me to pursue my artistic dream, and finally... I picked up Fourth Wing. I found my way back to two things I love most - reading and art, and in that, I’ve finally found my community. All products feature my hand drawn, original designs and everything in our shop is handmade by me! I am also SO grateful to be officially licensed by one of my favourite authors, Penn Cole, with more licensed partnerships in the works. Thank you for being here in our bookish community!Read their story
