A monthly letter for curious creators, ages 10+
A little something arrives through your letterbox each month. Inside is a beautifully printed 6×9 Bookmakers Folio that teaches the old-fashioned pleasure of making books by hand.
I am opening just six places for the very first members.

Not another screen.Not another online course.A real envelope.
Each month brings a new chapter, new skills and small treasures for the growing bookmaker. Everything they need to begin is in the envelope, and everything they make is theirs to keep.
Over the months their folio grows into a real book of their own: drawn, written and bound by hand.
December is the first letter: The First Mark. Here is what a young bookmaker will find inside each envelope.
A new chapter every month, beautifully printed and made to keep.
Folding, cutting and binding, one clear skill at a time.
Lessons in seeing, sketching and putting words on the page.
Old customs, wild creatures and what the world outside is doing this month.
Something real to hold, use or collect, tucked into every envelope.
The first six members will be our Founding Bookmakers: the very first people to receive the letters, use them, and help shape what this little society becomes.
I would love your young person to be one of the six if they love:
paper, stories, drawing, fantasy, secret books, old maps, creatures, and making things with their hands.
Six founding places. When they are gone, the Society opens to everyone else.
Postage is included in every price. Letters post from Portugal at the start of each month, beginning December 2026.
