Letters From Miami
Miami less fancy and more fanzine
Letters From Miami is an independent monthly magazine and living archive of a city in constant transformation.
Each issue explores a different corner of Miami life through illustration, essay, poetry, and comics, brought together by a rotating community of artists, writers, and contributors.
Printed in limited editions and distributed by subscription and in select locations across the city.
Issue #4 - July 2026
Public Transportation
Nobody talks about getting around Miami without telling a story.
Issue #4 takes on one of the city's most universal and least glamorous subjects: how to move through a place that was never quite designed for it. From the Metromover floating above downtown like a moving observation deck, to the South Beach trolleys that appear without warning and answer to no schedule, to the buses that carry the city quietly and without enough credit, How to Get Around (or Not) in Miami is an illustrated essay about a city still figuring out how to get from one place to another.
Also in this issue: Megan Roth with No Crying in Shark Diving, a column that begins in the Galápagos and ends somewhere much closer to home. Ryan Wheelbarrow's central spread, I Am Here, a piece of illustration and text that arrives somewhere unexpected and makes you glad you followed. A musical reflection on Hit the Road Jack by Ray Charles, and what it means to leave somewhere when leaving is a language you already know how to speak. And Trains in Japan, a comic by Avery Hick, presented in partnership with ZineMap.
Issue #4 is about transportation. But in Miami, every road eventually leads to something else entirely.

"This experimental novel captures the complexity of the creative mind and the internal struggles associated with the pursuit of self-acceptance and love. With reflections on culture, music, and memories, Brown’s work is a visceral journey through self-discovery and authenticity, illustrating that each thought and word is a crucial step toward understanding who we truly are."
-Barker & Jules
