The monthly rhythm
Letters go out once a month, in one big mailing, around the 15th. Every subscriber's letter travels at the same time — think of it as Emma's monthly trip to the post office, just with a very full bag.
How it works
The short version: you subscribe, Emma writes, the mail carrier does the noble part, and once a month there is a letter in your mailbox. Here is the slightly longer version.
Subscribe
Two minutes, $11 a month, and you're on Emma's list.
Emma writes
One letter a month, about whatever the month actually held.
The mail comes
Your letter travels by USPS — envelope, stamp, your name on the front.
You read
Kettle on, feet up. It's paper — it'll wait for you.
Your first letter
Subscribe by the 15th and your first letter goes out with that month's mailing. Subscribe after that, and yours starts with the next month's — Emma would rather you wait a little than get a rushed letter. From the post office it travels at the post office's pace, so give it a few days.
By actual mail
Every letter travels by USPS to your mailing address — paper, envelope, stamp. There is no tracking number, because it is a letter, not a package. For now, we mail to US addresses only.
If you move
Letters can't follow you unless you tell them where you went. Update your address anytime in Manage My Subscription — changes made by the 15th catch that month's mailing. It takes about a minute, which is roughly the only part of moving that will.
The subscription part, plainly
This Good Life is $11 a month, or $110 a year if you'd rather pay once. You're charged when you subscribe, then automatically on that same date each month (or each year), until you cancel. Canceling takes about three clicks in Manage My Subscription, stops future charges immediately, and any letter you've already paid for still comes — of course it does.
There's room on Emma's list for you.
Eleven dollars a month. One honest letter. A mailbox worth checking again.
Cancel anytime — no phone calls, no guilt.
