Welcome to The Paper Trail Diary!

Welcome! I am so excited to begin blogging about my favourite things!

the paper trail diary

Here you will find:

Books: reviews of some of my favourites, especially ones that have to do with paper goodness; magazines to check out; bookstores to go to…

Zines: In-progress updates of the zines I make; features on the zines that I love; zine issues to discuss, zine events…

Snail Mail: Mail art; snail mail-loving things to buy such as stationery; my pen pals and packaging, mail issues to discuss…

Crafts: Anything else paper-related, really, so the crafts that I make; the goodies that I like to make things with; stores that sell paper things to check out; DIY projects…

So here’s a bit about me:

I am a writer based in Toronto. I am 26. I live downtown with two roommates and a crazy cat. I work doing publicity at a university. I volunteer at the Toronto Zine Library. I am on the editorial board of Broken Pencil magazine. I run the community zine Static Zine & its distro Static Cloud, alongside making my own personal zines. I have pen pals all over the world. I spend a lot of time with these four subjects, and posting about them on places such as Instagram, let’s be real.

I wanted to explore these subjects more in-depth and share what I find interesting and great, so I hope you enjoy!
