See You in the Mail
by Jamez Terry
A cozy queer romance about zines, coffee, and snail-mail.
As long as Greg has a typewriter, strong coffee, and a pocket full of postage stamps, he's alright with the world. His zine, LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH, parodies Craigslist personal ads — an ode to the sweet absurdity of public declarations of desire. But hidden somewhere in each issue, there's one quiet ad that reveals something of Greg’s actual self. No one has ever found him there. Until a letter arrives from a reader called “M.”
Their snail-mail correspondence becomes the most honest relationship Greg has ever had, but M. disappears every time Greg suggests they meet. As Greg gets closer to the truth, he’s forced to confront the walls around his own heart.
Set in the underground zine scene of the early 2000s and on the rocky, moody coast of Maine, See You in the Mail is a cozy queer romance about the radical intimacy of being truly seen.
Jamez Terry (he/him) is a queer and transgender writer who has mostly worked in various genres of creative nonfiction. He was drawn back to fiction writing by the sacred value and personal necessity of imagining happy endings for queer and trans people. Like the protagonist of SEE YOU IN THE MAIL, Jamez is a zinester with many informal publications to his name, including the long-running FISH I HAVE LOVED series. This is his first novel. Jamez lives in Alaska with his partner, children, and many fish. Learn more about Jamez here!
