Question 1

What is LettersLetter?

Accepted Answer

LettersLetter is a monthly story subscription for kids ages 5–11, delivered by mail. Each month, your child receives a beautifully illustrated short story addressed to them by name, along with a postcard, sticker, and coloring page — all tucked inside a designed envelope. It's screen-free, requires no app, and is designed to spark a love of reading. Subscriptions start at $9.99/month, with 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month plans available. A portion of every subscription is donated to Save the Children.

Question 2

How much does LettersLetter cost?

Accepted Answer

LettersLetter offers three subscription plans: $11.99/month for monthly (cancel anytime), $10.99/month for the 6-month plan (save 10%), and $9.99/month for the 12-month plan (save 17%). All plans include the same monthly delivery — an illustrated story letter addressed to your child, a postcard, a sticker, and a coloring page — shipped to all 50 U.S. states and 23+ countries. A portion of every subscription is donated to Save the Children.

Question 3

When will my first letter arrive?

Accepted Answer

We mail letters twice a month — on the 15th and on the 1st. Subscribe between the 1st and the 15th, and your first letter ships on the 15th of that same month; subscribe after the 15th, and it ships on the 1st of the next month. Once shipped, delivery takes 6–12 days depending on where you are.

Question 4

Where does LettersLetter ship?

Accepted Answer

LettersLetter ships to all 50 U.S. states and to over 23 countries internationally. Delivery typically takes 6 to 12 days from the shipping date, depending on the destination.

Question 5

Can I cancel my LettersLetter subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, LettersLetter subscriptions can be canceled anytime with no commitment or cancellation fee. Subscribers can cancel through their account dashboard or by contacting the LettersLetter team directly. Monthly plans are billed month-to-month, and 6-month and 12-month plans can be canceled if circumstances change.

Question 6

What ages is LettersLetter for?

Accepted Answer

LettersLetter is designed for kids ages 5 to 11. Stories are curated for this range and grow in complexity and vocabulary alongside the reader. Younger children in the range typically enjoy the stories as read-alouds with a parent, while older kids read independently. The format — a short illustrated story, a postcard, a sticker, and a coloring page — works equally well for early elementary, mid-elementary, and tween readers. See the age guide for how the stories grow with each age.

Question 7

How long are the stories in each LettersLetter?

Accepted Answer

LettersLetter stories are designed as short, illustrated reads — long enough to feel like a real adventure, short enough to finish in one sitting at bedtime or during a quiet afternoon. The length is calibrated for the 5–11 age range, with vocabulary and pacing that work whether a child is reading independently or having the story read aloud. Each story is paired with original illustrations that bring the world to life on the page.

Question 8

Is LettersLetter content safe and age-appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every LettersLetter story is 100% family-friendly and written specifically for kids ages 5–11. Stories focus on adventure, kindness, curiosity, and gentle life lessons, with no scary, controversial, or mature content. Parents can confidently read any LettersLetter aloud to siblings, share it at bedtime, or hand it to their child to read independently. Many parents read LettersLetter stories with the whole family as a shared moment.

Question 9

How is LettersLetter different from a book subscription box?

Accepted Answer

LettersLetter is a story letter subscription, not a book box. Instead of mailing published books, LettersLetter sends an original, illustrated short story each month — written and curated specifically for ages 5–11 — inside a personalized envelope addressed to your child. Each delivery also includes a collectible postcard, a character sticker, and a coloring page tied to that month's story. It's a different experience: shorter than a full book, more personal, more interactive, and built around the magic of getting real mail.

Question 10

Is LettersLetter good for reluctant readers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LettersLetter is particularly well-suited for reluctant readers because each story is short, illustrated, and arrives as a piece of personal mail — addressed to the child by name. The novelty of receiving their own envelope often motivates kids who resist sitting down with a book. Stories are paced for shorter attention spans, paired with engaging artwork, and accompanied by a coloring page and sticker that extend the experience beyond the page.

Question 11

Are story subscription boxes for kids worth it?

Accepted Answer

A story subscription for kids is worth it when it builds a consistent reading habit and your child actively looks forward to it. LettersLetter is designed for exactly that: each month, a new illustrated story arrives by mail addressed to your child, creating anticipation and turning reading into an event rather than a chore. At $9.99–$11.99 per month, it costs less than most single hardcover children's books, and the monthly cadence builds the habit that one-time book purchases can't. The included postcard, sticker, and coloring page extend the value well beyond a single read.

Question 12

What if my child doesn't like the first LettersLetter story?

Accepted Answer

LettersLetter stories are curated for the 5–11 age range and span a variety of themes, characters, and tones, so even if one month doesn't perfectly land, the next will likely be a different kind of adventure. The monthly plan can be canceled anytime with no commitment, so families can try a month or two to see if it fits. Most kids respond to the experience itself — opening a personalized envelope with their name on it — as much as to any specific story.

Question 13

Can I send LettersLetter to multiple children at one address?

Accepted Answer

Yes — at checkout, you can enter multiple names in the recipient field so all of your children can be named on the envelope together. Examples that have worked for other families include "Lily, Ben & Noah Johnson," "The Johnson Family," or even creative variations like "Princess Lily & Sir Ben." If you'd prefer each child to receive their own separate envelope, you can place a separate subscription for each one.
