Letters in Your Mailbox

Author Valerie writes ongoing epistolary stories that arrive as printed letters on each character's own stationery. Readers pick a correspondent, such as a traveller starting over, an equestrian businesswoman, a young archaeologist in Egypt or a humorous gentleman storyteller, and start from letter one. There is also From the Cottage on the Water's Edge, a monthly seasonal letter with a recipe card, a watercolor style print, a pressed botanical, a poem, book suggestions and a simple activity.

Weekly story letters cost $24.99 a month per character, with US and international options. The cottage letters are $12.99 a month or $142 a year, US only, sent the first week of each month with a 25th cutoff.

Perfect for readers who love slow, gentle serial fiction.
