Dead Letter Club

the slow communication revolution

DEAD LETTER CLUB RETURNS
2022
It’s time and we’ve missed you. After 2 years of collecting dust in the proverbial Dead Letter Office we’re back and ready to write.

Where imagination, mystery, and low commitment pen-pals collide.

Building Creativity and Community via the lost art of letter writing.

Pick up a pen and let the ink flow.

Back to All Events

MELB: Dead Letter Club March edition

  • The Gem Bar & Dining 289 Wellington Street Collingwood Australia (map)

THIS IS THE SLOW COMMUNICATION REVOLUTION.

A mashup of creative writing, mystery, parlour games and low commitment pen pals.

It is now standard to express ourselves through the immediacy of emojis, GIFs, and lols. 

We ask, what might be lost because of this? Dead Letter Club is our answer.  Pick up a pen and let the ink flow.

“Dead Letter Club was one of the most genuinely creative, powerful and beautiful experiences I've ever taken part in.”  Gemma Jones, Craft Victoria

DLC is a high concept game played by YOU.  A response and a call to restore balance to lives being lived through a little screen and a scrolling thumb.  Existing in dedication to the written word through creative letter writing.  Assume your nom de plume and through our secret postal service you will correspond with others in the room over the evening remaining unknown to each other. 

Until the end that is.  

NEVER FEAR! We have hundreds of prompt cards for those awkward moments of writers’ block! 

“Dead Letter Club is an evening of unbridled imagination and creative wonder convened under the watchful eye of a badass witch babe.”  Kat Skull, STREAT

Dead Letter Club is a Creative Social Movement built by Melbourne's cheerleader for creativity, Melanie Knight, and is now finding its way across cities around the world.  

Join us upstairs at Melbourne's cosiest pub The Gem for drinks, BBQ and written words.
