Ephemaera is a fictional town where strange things happen. Every month a new video is posted on YouTube with the local news, and through this mail club you can receive additional tangible goodies that are perfect for journaling, but also nice to look at.

A Short History of Ephemaera: 

For a long time Ephemaera was under the influence of the Journalists: evil, conniving creatures that fabricate stories and manipulate their audience. Slowly the town turned bleak. Not only in color, but in essence. The Journalists gave rise to a minimalist approach to life, and Ephemaera’s citizens paid the price.

But things were brewing on the other side of the spread. A few of Ephemaera’s residents got together to create beautiful stories rooted in the truth. And so, the Journal Club emerged. Their movement quickly gained favor, and soon the Journalists were driven out of Ephemaera. But they still lurk around the borders…

After this tumultuos period, the municipality and The Journal Club merged.
Because there are none more qualified to run a town than creatures who journal.

Become a resident of Maple Crossing, a cozy fictional town brought to life through monthly snail mail stories, town votes, and optional online creative gatherings.

There’s a bakery, neighbors with stories, and town business that somehow becomes everyone’s business. Welcome to Maple Crossing.

Created by a writer and her 9-year-old daughter, Maple Crossing is a monthly snail mail club where subscribers become “residents” of a cozy fictional small town.

Your adventure begins with a welcome packet containing an illustrated town map, event calendar, and mailbox key. Monthly letters then bring stories from around town, seasonal happenings, and opportunities to help shape town life.

Each month’s story stands alone, so you can join anytime without catching up.

Beyond the mailbox, residents can enjoy optional online creative workshops, baking activities, and gatherings from the comfort of home. Drop in, try something new, and meet fellow residents. Participate as much or as little as you like.

Join for a little escape of your own, or give someone something lovely to look forward to. Friends and family can become residents together, following the same stories and sharing activities across the miles.

Monthly subscriptions are $16. Six-month and one-year gift subscriptions are also available, with no automatic renewal.
