We send copies through USPS at bulk mail rates, and can only deliver to one route at a time. We have selected routes in both North and South Reston for now, and we cover about 3/4 of Reston mailboxes, with plans to expand as we get the funding.

We print the second week of each month, and typically this means issues are delivered near the end of that week. Depending on the amount of mail your mail carrier has on that day, you should get it right away. However, bulk rate mail is third class mail, so is not the highest priority.

At this time because of our shipping rates, we cannot provide subscription services for our physical copies to anyone, but we do have an E-route. (link here) A copy of the PDF is mailed to inboxes the same day it hits mailboxes. If you'd like, email info@therestonletter.com and we can arrange saving you a copy for pick-up.

We leave copies at Reston Community Center's two locations: Hunters Woods and Lake Anne. We leave some at the YMCA and Reston Regional Library. We also leave some at select businesses: North Point Glory Days, D1 Training, Lake Anne Coffee House and Wine Bar, Reston Used Book Store, and Commonwealth Chiropractic & Wellness. We are planning newspaper stands at several other businesses soon. You can find links with addresses here.

Email info@therestonletter.com and we'll save you some copies. Include the volume, issue, and article.

Email info@therestonletter.com with details from the volume and issue and photo credit. We will probably be able to get you a copy of most any of them.

How can I do that? Email info@therestonletter.com with either the story itself, a pitch to write it yourself, or a request for a Letter staff writer to write it.

Before you write your piece, contact our opinions editor at ezreston@gmail.com to pitch the idea. Already wrote it? Go ahead and send it over for consideration.

We need help in most areas! We're almost all a staff of volunteers, and all have to pick up slack for each other when some of us get too busy with our "real" jobs and life. Please email info@therestonletter.com with your desire to help, and if possible (but not necessary) your resume.

Yes, we publish obituaries for Reston residents, even if they weren’t living in Reston when they passed away. We charge $300 for an obituary. That includes around 200 words and space for an image.
