Editorial Journal Framer Template
Writer blog & newsletter
Free
A dark editorial blog and newsletter template for writers, authors, and bloggers. It supports photo-led essays, short notes, reading lists, and a Sunday letter, with editable content for personal journals and editorial writing.
About this template
Editorial Journal is a free dark editorial blog and newsletter template for a writer, author or blogger: essays told as photo-led stories, short notes, a reading shelf and a Sunday letter, all editable in Framer without code.
A hero stack of essays
The five latest essays lie as a fanned stack of covers. Drag or swipe the top one away, press Next, or leave it: it moves to the back and the next story comes up. A paper slip carries its first line, beside a real subscribe field.
Essays that pin as you scroll
Full-width cover cards settle one over another, each with its topic, date and read time.
Topics, photographs and the writer
A moving row of topics with essay counts, an about-the-author block whose words fill in as you scroll under a drawn signature, and eight travel photographs that slide sideways and open in a lightbox.
The Sunday letter
A paper envelope opens on a lit desk; pick a past issue and the letter inside swaps. Then notes pinned on a rail you can drag, a shelf of the books the writer is reading, a deck of reader letters to swipe and an FAQ.
Inner pages
A journal with topic filters, a page for every essay, a topics index, a notes wall, a newsletter archive and an about page with a timeline of the writing years.
