"Letters to the Editor, Vol. 1" (2007) is an acoustic EP from Andrew Osenga. Recorded and mixed in his Nashville, TN basement studio, "Letters to the Editor, Vol. 1" was released online as a free digital-only download from his website in June 2007. It is his fourth solo project, following the full length studio album The Morning (2006).

The album is the result of an interesting experiment: Andrew asked the internet fan community that read his blog to send in pictures, drawings, paintings, stories, cool words, or ideas that he would develop into fully fleshed-out songs. Each of the six songs on the album draw primarily from these submissions, an example of a unique form of community interaction between fan and artist.
