Letter Subscriptions, Explained

A letter subscription tells a story in instalments through the post. Instead of a book, the reader receives letters, written in character, arriving over months, so the story unfolds at the pace the characters lived it. It is the oldest form of the novel, the epistolary story, delivered the way letters were always meant to be read.

These entries explain how the format works, what to look for in one (the paper, the printing, where it is posted from, how long the story runs and whether it actually ends), and how ours is made and posted from Ireland. They also answer the plain questions: whether it is fiction or history, what it costs, and whether it is worth it as a gift.
