Letters from Laurel Creek mail package with envelope, typed letter, school schedule, folded note, friendship pin, and Wildcats sticker.

Letters from Laurel Creek

Everyone starts at Issue 001. Your first envelope is Amy’s very first letter, whenever you subscribe.

Each month, another piece of her story arrives in your mailbox, along with artifacts from her life in 1984.

Order by the 14th. Letters mail the 15th.

Each envelope unlocks more of Laurel Creek.

Inside every issue is a QR code that opens a hidden companion page for that month’s story. Explore a little more of Amy’s world through an evolving map of Laurel Creek and occasional discoveries tied to the story — places, photographs, music, newspaper clippings, and other pieces of town life.

The envelope is the episode. The companion page lets you explore the world around it.

The physical mail experience is complete on its own. The companion page is optional — just another door into Laurel Creek.

Questions

  • No. Everyone begins with Issue 001, whenever they join. There's nothing to catch up on.

  • Each Series contains twelve issues. Series One follows Amy through her freshman year, beginning in September 1984. When one Series ends, the story continues into the next.

  • Amy types her letters on her typewriter in 1984. But there’s still plenty of her left all over the page — notes in the margins, crossed-out words, arrows, afterthoughts and her signature at the end. Other pieces she sends may be handwritten, too. I put every envelope together by hand, tuck in the pieces of her life she wants you to have, and send it on its way.

  • You still begin with Issue 001. Every subscriber experiences Amy's story from the beginning.

  • Letters mail on the 15th of each month. Subscribe by the 14th and your first envelope will be included in that month's mailing. Subscribe after the 14th and it will mail the following month.

  • Yes. Monthly subscriptions can be canceled from your account at any time, which stops future charges. Prepaid plans continue through the number of issues already purchased and do not automatically renew.

  • No. Monthly subscriptions continue into the next Series unless you cancel. Prepaid subscriptions continue for the number of consecutive issues purchased, even if those issues cross from one Series into another.

  • Letters from Laurel Creek currently ships within the United States only. Outside the U.S.? Join our International Interest list and we'll let you know if that changes.

  • No. Amy’s letter and the physical pieces in each envelope are the complete story experience. The companion page is an optional extra if you want to explore more of Laurel Creek.

  • No. It’s included with your issue. Scan the QR code and the companion page opens in your phone’s browser — no additional app or subscription required. QR links opening web content in a phone browser is standard Shopify behavior.

  • Yes. Each issue has its own companion page, so you can return and revisit Laurel Creek later.

  • No. Amy, her family, and everyone in Laurel Creek are fictional, and every letter and artifact is created by us. That's the only question on this page we'll answer directly.

  • There's a return address on the envelope. We can't promise a reply to everything, but we read all of it.
