Thank you so much for your patience, Snail Mail enthusiasts!

The good news is we have some truly amazing ephemera planned. The bad news is that global shipping being what it is, we can't get subscriptions up and running until we have the physical items in hand.

We have behind-the-scenes momentum but due to various illnesses, life admin and setbacks we haven't got things up and running quite as quickly as we intended to. But the project is progressing and we haven't forgotten you, so please watch this space, make sure you're subscribed to the newsletter and we will let you know when things are ready.

Once we launch it will be a letter or two every month with no interruptions, so we truly appreciate your patience with us right now.
