The free one page newsletter template

Edit this template

A monthly newsletter for staff and partners: one story, three numbers, a short trend, news and dates.

What to copy:

• A lead story with a date in the headline. "Our new Dallas office opens November 3" tells the reader what changes and when, before they read anything else.
• Three numbers everyone in the company affects: orders shipped, on-time delivery and the customer rating.
• Six months in one bar chart, with this month in a darker color.
• "What's new" as three short items, each with a one-line detail: a new returns page, two people joining, longer phone hours.
• Dates to know as a two-column list, so nobody hunts through paragraphs for a deadline.

The 6 parts of a one page newsletter

1. A name and an issue line. "The Tallowbrook Monthly, October issue, for staff and partners." The name builds the habit; the issue line says it is current.
2. One lead story. The news your reader will repeat in the kitchen or at the school gate. One headline and one sentence of detail.
3. The month in numbers. Two to four figures. For a company, sales or service results. For a school, attendance or an event's turnout. For a club, members and money raised.
4. What's new. Three items at most, each a short title and one line.
5. Dates to know. Date on the left, what happens on the right.
6. Who to contact, for questions or story ideas next month.

If a story needs more than a paragraph, it belongs in its own message. The newsletter can point to it.

One template, four kinds of newsletter

The same six parts work for almost any reader. Change what goes in each.

For an internal newsletter that also has to explain benefits, the benefits summary layout puts the plan, key dates and who to ask on one sheet. For a newsletter about a single event, a webinar recap shows turnout, best questions and next steps. And once a year, the annual report One-Pager sums up the twelve issues in one.

How to write a one page newsletter in 30 minutes

1. Keep a note open all month. Every time something happens that people should hear about, add one line. Writing day becomes choosing, not remembering.
2. Pick the lead story first: the one with the biggest effect on the reader.
3. Pull the same numbers every month, so readers can compare issues.
4. Choose three "what's new" items and cut the rest.
5. Add the dates for the next four to six weeks.
6. Read it on your phone before sending. If you have to zoom, cut words.

Where else to find a newsletter template

We make MakeOnepagers, so its template is shown above. Here is what the other popular places offered when we read them on 9 October 2026.

Pick by how people will read it. A newsletter sent as an email body suits an email tool. A newsletter that gets printed, pinned up, attached as a PDF or read on a phone suits a one-page design.

Newsletter mistakes that lose readers

• Opening with "Welcome to our October newsletter". That line is the first one people skip. Open with the news.
• Every item the same size. If everything is a headline, nothing is.
• Numbers that change every month. Track the same three, so the trend means something.
• No dates. Dates are the part people screenshot and keep.
