An original poem from Dan Whitlam, posted to your door. One letter, every month. Not available anywhere else.
Every month, an envelope lands on your doormat with a unique poem written by myself. A piece of writing you won't find anywhere else that will help you stop and feel the world around you.
I've spent five years writing poems for a screen. This is the first time I've made something you can hold in your hands - pin to a wall, leave in a coat pocket and find again on the bus six months later.
Pick monthly or annual. Add your address. Takes under a minute.
Posted from London after you join. UK arrives in 1-3 days, international in 5-10.
Themed arcs across the year. Each letter different.
One click. No fuss. Keep every letter you've already received.
If you sign up today, I'll ship you a letter on the 28th of every month - with the first one going out today.
Same date. Different poem. For as long as you'd like.
The same letter, every month either way. Choose monthly to keep things light, or pay once a year for the better price.

The first one arrived on a Tuesday and I sat on my stairs and read it three times. Haven't felt like that about something in the post since I was nineteen.
Sophie M.LondonI keep them in a wooden box by the door. My partner reads them out loud over dinner. We've started writing back, even though there's nowhere to send the reply.
James R.ManchesterBought it for my mum's birthday. Best gift I've given in years - she texts me every month when the envelope lands. Now my sister's signed up too.
Aoife C.DublinThe first letter goes out the same day you sign up, posted from London. From then on, a new letter ships on that same date every month. UK delivery is 1-3 working days; international 5-14 days depending on the destination.
You receive the same thing - one letter every month. Annual just pays for the year up front and works out at £5.75/month (two months free) instead of £6.95.
Worldwide. The price you see is the price you pay - there are no separate postage fees.
Anytime, from your account, one click, no questions. You'll keep every letter you've already received and continue to receive letters until the end of your current billing period.
After checkout you'll be emailed a magic-link sign-in. From your account you can update your shipping address any time. As long as it's updated before the next ship date, your next letter goes to the new place.
Yes. Head to the gift page, enter the recipient's details and address, and we'll send the first letter their way. Gift purchases are one-off and don't auto-renew.
No. That's the point. Every letter is written for the people who receive it, and it stays there. Some poems may eventually appear in a printed collection, but they won't be available for free online or on streaming.
Email home@lettersbydan.com within 14 days and we'll resend it free of charge.
Your first letter goes out the day you join, and then once a month afterwards.
