see yourself through the lens of a literary artist

Hi friends,

Warmest welcome to The Handwritten Press. In the age of screens and social media, The Handwritten Press is a small rebellion; a candlelit return to paper, ink, and human touch.

Each poem begins with a story: yours. I learn and illustrate memories, symbols, and fleeting details of your story; the color of a room, the way someone laughed, the silence after goodbye, and turn them into words that feel handmade. More specifically, I capture the art in the symbolism; what makes your story significant?

Every letter is written slowly, by hand, on antique washed deckle-edged paper. Wax drips, vellum softens, and a custom package ties it all together. Each piece takes time and is a little ceremony of its own.

It’s part poetry, part craft; an art of feeling translated into something you can hold. Sometimes, pictures don’t tell the whole story.
Handwriting does.

Gemma W.
Serial poet, author, and lover of the arts.
