On Becoming Paris Post
Dear readers,
When we began, our intention was simple: to offer a space where words could stretch, settle, and speak—without hurry, without noise. Over time, this intention grew roots. Writers joined us from across continents. Essays arrived from bedrooms, borderlands, and backstreets. Letters from Lagos, poems from Kolkata, reflections from Lisbon, New york, London and beyond. A quiet, global chorus began to take shape.
As this community of thought expanded, so too did the shape of what we were becoming.
Today, we turn a page.
Lekh Magazine now becomes Paris Post—a name that carries forward our belief in the literary spirit, the act of sending thought into the world, and the power of cross-border, slow-crafted writing.
Why Paris Post?
Not because we are from Paris (we are from everywhere), but because Paris evokes a long tradition of writing, revolution, art, and exchange. And Post — not only as a medium but a gesture: a sending, a sharing, a signal across distance.
In a world too eager to react, we still believe in the letter. In the long form. In the pause before publish.
This rebrand is not a break but a continuation. The same editorial heart beats under a new, more global skin.
So what will change?
- A new name, a new masthead, and a visual identity that reflects our literary and international soul.
- A clearer invitation to writers worldwide — across styles, forms, and identities.
- And over time, deeper columns, thoughtful dispatches, and new voices you've yet to meet.
What remains is our core belief: that a single line — well written, well placed — can still carry weight in the world.
Thank you for reading, submitting, trusting, and sharing.
Welcome to Paris Post.
With gratitude and anticipation,
