This is the official RU-vid channel for The Postman's Knock, the internet's #1 calligraphy blog. In this channel, you'll find lots of inspiring content, from pointed pen and brush pen calligraphy tutorials to watercolor projects.
That’s a fun challenge! Kelly Kaczmarczyk has a lot of potential for a unique signature-especially with those distinctive letters. Maybe a little flourish on the “K” or “z” could give it some flair! 😊
Hey there! I just double-checked, and the link in the description is working. Here it is again: thepostmansknock.com/catalog/free-8-page-faux-calligraphy-worksheet-set/
So interesting! Thank you for sharing your behind the scenes with us. Not only is the book super impressive but to accomplish this with an infant and preschooler while also running your business is super human! Already pre-ordered my copy. Best of luck to you! P.S. I hope you do create the "left out project" book - that would be fabulous!
Thank you so much! 😊 It’s been quite the adventure, but I’m lucky to have an amazing support system. I’m so excited that you’ve already pre-ordered a copy-it means a lot! And I love the idea of a 'left out project' book-I’ll definitely keep that in mind! 💛
My ex criticised my handwriting at one point in time and now I write very stiffly. I've decided I'm going to go back to the basics and start from scratch. I especially have problems with letters that have a hump, ie. 'm', 'n', 'h'.
You’ve got this! Going back to basics is a great step, and I’m sure you’ll notice big improvements. Keep practicing those “m,” “n,” and “h” letters-they’ll get smoother with time! 💛
Hey Lindsey, congratulations, you should be very proud, I am in Australia and have pre-ordered. I would have loved to have it signed by you but didn't want to pay the postage, it is silly!!!! the illustrations you have given us a sneak peak of look beautiful and full of your usual detail. I can't wait to get my hands on the book, I hope it is a HUGE success and I am sure it will be.🥰
Thank you so much, Alison! 🥰 I’m so excited that you’ve pre-ordered in Australia! I agree that the postage cost is way too much to order from the US, so I'm really happy that you can get it locally. I can’t wait for you to get your hands on the book, and I hope you love it! 😊
Calligraphy books usually look very nice, but yours is just gorgeous!! Understandable, since you are not just a calligraphy artist but a gifted artist all around. Congratulations on your 3rd baby!
My immediate reaction to this was, "NO!! You misunderstood! I'm NOT having a third baby!" -- then, I got it, haha. ;) Yes, my brain might still be just a liiiiittle bit fried from balancing everything! Regardless, it's still so satisfying and cool to have seen this project through, and to be able to hold it in my hands. Thank you, thank you, for the very kind compliments!
CONGRATULATIONS, Lindsey! I’ve already placed my order at TPK for your book, which I’m sure will be as stunning as it will be vastly informative. You’ve been such an inspiration to me over the years in terms of how generously you share your creativity, as well as showing us life balance, and that it’s OK to take risks, and eat an elephant “one bite at a time.” Kudos!
Thank you so much! I’m so touched by your kind words and support over the years. I love the 'one bite at a time' metaphor and was happy that Jess gifted it to me-it definitely shaped how I approached this project! I’m thrilled you’ve already ordered the book, and I hope it inspires you. 💛
So happy for your new book! Congratulations, it's all worth it now! I WILL be ordering one soon! Thank you for all your hard work, you are surely a wonderful talented artist!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you’re excited about the book and grateful for your support. Can’t wait for you to get your copy! 😊
Thank you so much, Margo! I’m thrilled to share a peek behind the curtain and I'm glad you found it interesting (I had no idea what went into publishing before taking on this project, either). Your support means the world to me! 🙂
Thanks for sharing the process, very interesting, and congratulations on having climbed this mountain (one step at a time) and giving us this beautiful book!
Thank you for the kind words and for recognizing the journey this has been! Each step has been worth it, thanks to amazing fellow creatives like you. I'm so happy to share it with you!
Agh! So excited for you! I pre-ordered weeks ago! It looks so beautiful and can’t wait to get it in my hands! Also, I too love your watercolor maps, so keep making them! Maybe you can make a mini book out of it! 😂
Diana, your excitement is contagious! Thank you for pre-ordering and for your wonderful support. I'm just as excited for you to get your hands on it! And I love the mini book idea for the watercolor maps-let's see what the future holds! 😄
Congratulations Lindsey!! I'm so happy for you and I know this will be another successful project for you, all I know of calligraphy I learned from you. Can't wait to have this in my library too!
Thank you so much, Fatima! Your words mean so much to me, and I'm honored to have been a part of your calligraphy journey. I hope "The Calligraphy Book" finds a special place in your library and inspires even more beautiful creations!

Congratulations, Lindsey! The culmination of over a year of hard work, while growing a family, website, and business. Amazing. And amazingly beautiful. So much beautiful art and expertise tucked in there . . . a treasure. What a tremendous milestone in your personal growth and contributions to our culture.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words! It has been such an incredible journey, and I’m so excited to share the book with everyone. I’m beyond grateful for your support along the way!
I can't imagine how much work this must have been! Congratulations Lindsey! I've had this on pre-order with Amazon, but I'll be switching to your website to get the personalized version. ❤
Thank you so much! It really was a labor of love. 😊 I’m so grateful you’ve had it on pre-order with Amazon, but I’m absolutely honored that you’re switching to the personalized version on my site. I can’t wait to send it your way with a special touch!
Congratulations, Lindsey! What a beautiful book! I love DK books, and I'm glad DK was the publisher that reached out to you - a match made in heaven :)
Thank you! I’m such a fan of DK too, so when they reached out, it really did feel like the perfect match. 😊 I’m so glad you think the book looks beautiful-it’s been such a joy to work on, and I can’t wait for you to see it in person!
Yay, Lindsey, I'm so happy you have this project ready to go. I hope it brings in well-deserved income. Artists are never paid what they're worth, I get that, but they contribute some of the most satisfying things in life to lift us out of the mundane and repetitiveness of daily existence. Thank you!
Thank you, Hannah Rose! Your words really resonate. Artists definitely pour their hearts into what they do, and it’s such a gift to hear that it brings joy to others. I hope the book is just as inspiring and uplifting for you as you’ve been for me with your lovely message. 😊
Congratulations!! It's absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to pour over every page. You started me on my a calligraphy journey nearly 10 years ago and have been with me every step of the way since then. I am so grateful for your teaching and inspiration!
Thank you, Jessie! That means so much to me. It’s such an honor to know that I've been part of your calligraphy journey over the years, and I’m thrilled to hear you’re still enjoying it! I can’t wait for you to dive into the book and explore every page. 😊
Congratulations, Lindsey! I've been following you for years! You have always been so generous with your lovely tutorials! This is such an achievement for you and such a well-deserved opportunity!
Thank you so much, Mary! It means the world to know you’ve been following along for years. I’ve always loved sharing tutorials, and this book really feels like the culmination of all that hard work. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
Thank you! I’m so glad you think it’s beautiful-I really wanted to create something that felt special. I hope the book brings as much joy to you as it did for me to create it. 😊
Lindsey!!! I’m so very happy for you!!! What a beautiful book and what an accomplishment! You gave me my foundation for calligraphy and I’ve used it ever since I took your class 8 years ago!!! Whoooo hooo! 🤛🏻🤛🏻
Lea, thank you so much! Wow, eight years since you took my class? Time flies! I’m beyond thrilled to hear you’re still using the foundation we built together. I hope the book brings you even more joy and inspiration. 😊 Still looking forward to learning how to make croissants from you!
