Jane Austen has discovered ghosting. Oscar Wilde has thoughts on your love life, and Poe can’t believe there’s no raven on your mantel. Every two weeks, a wax-sealed letter from a classic author arrives in your mailbox, reacting to modern life and sharing their timeless wisdom. You love their books -- now discover the author and the stories behind the stories.

What if your favorite classic authors could see the way we live now? What would they have to say about the modern age?

Armchair Epics imagines exactly that. Jane Austen has discovered ghosting and sat down with pen and ink to say what she thinks of it. In one letter, Oscar Wilde declares that a love entered cautiously, with a sensible exit strategy, isn’t a love at all: “It is a lease agreement.” Edgar Allan Poe is appalled by a living room with no raven on the mantel. Mary Shelley and Charles Dickens are writing about careers, social issues and more.

At Armchair Epics, you choose an author and they’ll write you a series of 12 letters, one every two weeks, on a variety of topics from love to career to home decor, fashion, and more. Each envelope contains:

-A curator’s note introducing that letter’s topic
-A wax-sealed letter in the author’s voice, with their take on modern life and a dash of timeless wisdom
-A wrap-up note that feels like comparing notes with a friend, plus a hint at the next letter’s theme
-A period-style newsletter of true, sourced stories from the author’s world
-A keepsake, such as art, a sticker or a postcard

You love their books; now meet the authors and the true stories behind the stories.

The letters are imagined, but every one is researched from the author’s real life and work, so they sound like the authors themselves. All of them are written by our founder, Monica Ortiz, who started Armchair Epics to bring a little joy to everyday life, one letter at a time.

It’s $15 a month, or $65 prepaid ($25 savings) for the full six-month series. It’s one of the most unique gifts you can give yourself or a friend who’s read it all!

Each month brings a new theme. Individual pieces are thoughtfully curated to match the month’s story. A heartfelt letter from your faraway friend, with two stories, and a special sticker pack.

For the whimsical human in you who wants to break free from doomscrolling and rediscover your magic once again.

One day, the creator felt sick to her stomach, feeling as though her time and creativity were slipping by. She decided to take back her life once again and stop being a willing victim of doomscrolling.

She realized that she used to receive letters from her dad, who was and still is working overseas. Her dad left when she was three years old to give her a brighter future, and those letters bridged the gap between a hardworking father and a longing child for so many years. Now, she wants to give others the same feeling she felt whenever she received a letter from her dad when she was a little girl.

In this mail club, she will include a heartfelt letter, two stories, a sticker pack, and other curated items depending on the subscriber's chosen realm. This will be nothing less than an outlet of creativity for the creator, completely without pretension. She hopes that through this snail mail club you will rediscover your whimsy together, despite the responsibilities of adulthood.
