Stories delivered by post

A love story
arrives in your
mailbox

Two letters a month. Twelve months. One story that unfolds in your hands — not on a screen. Historical fiction told the way it was meant to be: written, sealed, and sent.

"I make a cup of tea and disappear into another world. There is nothing else like it."

— Margaret, subscriber since 2025

"I bought this for my mother and she calls me every time a new letter arrives. Every single time."

— Rachel, gifted to her mother

"The anticipation of waiting for the next letter is half the experience. I had forgotten what that felt like."

— James, annual subscriber

Letters from the Seine

Two strangers, one city, and a correspondence that begins with a misdelivered envelope. Set against the jazz-lit cafés of interwar Paris.

The people behind the letters

A story about
stories

The Sealed Letter began with a simple belief: that the best stories deserve to arrive slowly. Not streamed. Not scrolled. But sealed, stamped, and carried through the post to someone who has been waiting for them.

We are a small team of writers and readers who think the mailbox has been underestimated for too long. Every letter we send is an original work of fiction — researched, written, and illustrated with the kind of care that screen-based storytelling rarely allows.

We are glad you found us.
