Stories By Mail is a storytelling experience that invites you to step into a world shaped by myths from around the world.
Each story arrives through the post, paired with a creative writing invitation, reflective prompt, or gentle outdoor practice. Together, these elements offer a quiet moment of wonder, helping you slow down, explore your creativity, and reconnect or connect more deeply with the world around you.
​Stories By Mail is designed for adults, teenagers, families, and anyone who wants something to look forward to, a reminder that magic can still arrive through the post.
Most of what drops through the letterbox today is bills, leaflets, and reminders. Stories By Mail brings back something many of us miss: the joy of opening a letter that brings delight.
Each month, you receive a new story. Every envelope carries a world of creativity and imagination. Stories By Mail is designed for anyone who wants something to look forward to, a reminder that magic can still arrive through the post.

The Heart of Our Storytelling
Stories meet us at every stage of life, offering something new each time we return to them. They travel with us, changing as we do, carrying comfort, wonder, and wisdom in ways we often lose sight of as we grow older.
And so, we write for two people: the child who wondered and the adult who forgot. The chapters you receive become small bridges between ages, between memories, and between the lives we have lived and the ones we are still creating.
How it Works: Your Adventure
Each story arrives as intimate pages you can hold, pages that draw you quietly into the lives of the characters and the worlds they move through. Make a cup of tea and step back into a world shaped by story, memory and imagination. You will receive:
Every month, you receive story pages that you can gather and turn into your own storybook as the year unfolds. You can bind them yourself, keep them in a folder, or choose one of our handmade storybook covers.
Each cover is crafted from natural fibres and recycled paper and designed to hold your stories as they grow through the year. If you would like to bind your pages into a book, you can add a cover to your subscription at checkout.
