I Want Post Cards is written by people who actually collect, mail, and research postcards, not just describe them from the outside.
Lucy Bennett
Postcard, Travel and Postal Culture Writer
Lucy Bennett is a postcard, travel, and postal-culture writer covering collecting, Postcrossing, snail mail, stationery, stamps, travel memories, and vintage ephemera. Her work explores postcards as both practical communication and small historical objects. She writes about everything from choosing cards and writing better messages to interpreting postmarks, organizing collections, displaying vintage postcards, and discovering travel destinations through physical mail. Lucy is particularly interested in the human details that survive on old cards: handwriting, short messages, addresses, dates, stamps, and evidence of the journey a postcard took. She encourages responsible collecting and distinguishes researched historical information from speculation when the story behind a postcard cannot be verified. Lucy Bennett is a disclosed editorial pen name used by the I Want Postcards content team.
