Welcome to The Platen
My name is Laura, Founder and Poet-in-Chief of Charlottesville Poem Store, and this is our newsletter!
About Charlottesville Poem Store
Charlottesville Poem Store writes custom poems on demand using vintage typewriters on vintage paper at farmer’s markets and private events. We share a bit of our event days and typewriter poet ways on our Instagram feed, but there is so much more to know about our business than we could ever share on social media.
About The Platen
The Platen is our way of sharing what happens behind the scenes here at Charlottesville Poem Store.
Free subscribers will receive the latest store news, upcoming event info, favorite poems written at the market and their backstories, and other timely announcements.
Paid subscribers will also receive the following:
Access to Typewriter Poetry Business 101, a how-to series where we share everything we know about running a typewriter poetry business
Access to comments and discussion with CPS and other readers
Access to candid photos and video, playlist links, more poems, occasional livestreams, and more.
We hope that you will join our little community as we celebrate our love of poetry, typewriters, farmers markets, and the magic that can happen when you combine all three!
