How the rhythm works
You set the rhythm. They wait for the post.
Choose how often a chapter arrives when you set the story up. The story is told in seasons of about ten letters, and a subscription goes on from one season to the next.

From your account
You hold the reins. They hold the letter.
A season is about ten letters; a subscription keeps going for as long as they want it. Between any two letters, from your account, you can:
-
1 of 6
Add family or friends
A cousin, a grandad, the dog. They are drawn in the world's style and written in from the next letter.
-
2 of 6
Change the rhythm
Weekly while they are obsessed, monthly when school gets heavy. The next letter follows the new rhythm.
-
3 of 6
Answer the P.S.
Tell us which way they chose, in a minute from your account, and the next chapter goes that way.
-
4 of 6
Pause it
A holiday, a busy term, a birthday to save it for. The story waits exactly where it is.
-
5 of 6
Change direction
Start the next season in another world. The family they built comes along with them.

Tell us how it landed
Rate any letter and say what worked. Every note comes straight to the two of us.
Giving one
A subscription as a present
Set the story up for a child you know, with a note in the first letter, or give a gift card and let their family choose the story and the rhythm. No subscription is needed to give one either: a pack of five, eight or ten letters is paid once.
Gifting, both ways
What it costs
Pay as each letter goes, or pay once for a set of them. Same letters, same stories, and the extras are yours to add either way.
Paid per letter
Subscription
A letter on the rhythm you choose, for as long as the adventure runs. Every one picks up where the last left off. Pause or stop whenever.

Story subscription, asked
Before you subscribe
How it works, what you can change, and giving one.
-
01 How does a story subscription for kids work?
You choose one of six stories and tell us about your child and the people they love. A new chapter is printed and posted to them on the rhythm you pick, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and you pay as each letter goes, from £8 a letter. The story is told in seasons of about ten letters and carries on from one to the next.
-
02 Is it a book subscription?
Not quite. Instead of a new book each month, your child gets the next chapter of one story, written around them, in a letter addressed to them. Many families keep the letters together like a book, and the digital keepsake PDF is an optional extra.
-
03 Can I pause or change how often letters arrive?
Yes, from your account between any two letters. You can change the rhythm, pause the story while you are away or saving it for a birthday, add family or friends to the cast and answer the P.S. for the next chapter.
-
04 Does the discount apply to the subscription?
Yes. The code LETTER25 takes 25% off every subscription letter, so a weekly letter is £6.
-
05 Can I give a story subscription as a gift?
Yes. Set the story up for the child yourself, with a note in the first letter and a card that explains how to hand the story to their parents, or give a gift card so the family makes every choice.
