Write in markdown
Headings, lists, links, quotations and code, typed as plain text. Read the issue back the way a subscriber will see it before anything leaves your account.
Markdown-first newsletters
Write the issue in markdown. Send it to the readers who asked for it.
Letterpress Mail keeps a newsletter to three things: a draft you write in plain text, a list of people who confirmed they want it, and one send. What your readers pay you never passes through us.
Three parts, no more.
All three are in the free tier, from the first draft to the hundredth subscriber.
Keep your own list
Every reader sits on your list with their name, their tags and the date they confirmed, and the whole list leaves as a CSV whenever you want it.
Send one broadcast
When the draft is ready it goes out once, to the subscribers who confirmed, and then stays in your archive at an address of its own.
The free tier
100
subscribers, free, for as long as you are writing.
Most newsletters begin with a handful of readers and a folder of drafts. The first hundred subscribers cost nothing, and the first issue you send tells you whether the idea has legs at all.

Start with one issue.
Give it a title, write the first paragraph in markdown and add three readers. The getting-started guides take each step in turn, and the pricing page says how far each list size reaches.
