It works the way letters used to.
You subscribe. Once a month, an envelope arrives. You open it when you're ready.
Three steps
Subscribe.
Choose monthly or three-month. Pay once. We do not auto-renew without telling you.
Wait.
The first letter ships within 14 days of your order. After that, one envelope per month.
Receive.
Open it. Read it once or three times. Keep it on your shelf or pin it to the wall. The print is yours.
How long is the story?
Each story is between 1,500 and 2,500 words. About 15 minutes of reading. Most people read it twice.
Are the stories connected?
Each letter stands on its own. You can start with any month and you'll get a complete story. But if you stay with us, you'll start to notice things. A coat that appeared in March turns up again in July. A character mentioned in passing becomes the centre of next year's letter. There's a city under the letters. We don't insist you find it. But it's there if you want it.
Shipping
We ship from [COUNTRY]. Delivery to most EU countries takes 5–10 working days. US/UK 7–14. Rest of world 10–21. We can't promise faster than the post is.
Cancel or pause
You can pause or cancel from your account at any time. We don't lock you in. If you cancel, you keep what's already arrived.
What's inside
The Letter.
4 pages, A5, printed both sides. A short story written for this envelope and no other.
The Print.
A single A5 illustration that belongs to that month's story. Yours to keep.
Sometimes more.
A torn document. A postmark from the city. A note. Not every month. We don't say which.
