The Existential Librarian: A Personalised Literary Care Letter

Tell me what you're carrying.

A question that won't let you sleep. A transition that's unraveling you. A heartbreak. A crossroads. Kids driving you crazy. A fear you can't face. Whatever it is - I'm listening.

This is a personal letter of hope and light created specifically for what you're going through right now. I'll curate poems, a book recommendation, a quote, and an original piece of art inspired by your words. Made with care, typed on my vintage typewriter, and posted to you.

What you'll receive:

• A handwritten note explaining why I chose these pieces for you
• An original cyanotype print inspired by your words - made by hand, unique to you
• Three poems printed in full, carefully selected for you
• One meaningful quote that resonates with your situation
• A book recommendation to accompany you forward.
• Typed on my vintage typewriter, packaged with care, and posted to you.

How it works:

After you order, you'll receive an email inviting you to share what you're going through. Tell me what's on your heart and mind. Write as much or as little as feels right for you. There's no wrong way to do this. After I've created your art and letter, I'll post it to you. It'll arrive wherever you are in the world at a snail's pace. 

This is for you if:

• You need to feel less alone.
• You're looking for beauty in a difficult time.
• You love real mail.
• You want thoughtfully curated words and art made just for you.
• You need someone to say: I hear you, I see you, and here are some things that might help light your way.

This is not a monthly subscription.

If you are buying this as a gift, please include the name, contact details and anything else you need me to know in the notes section at checkout.

Please note: Being snail mail, art and poetry, these letters take time to create and time to get to you. Please be patient as your letter travels across land, sea, space, and time to get to you.  It’s a reminder of analog living and that's part of the charm.
