Everything you need before your first envelope arrives.
What's Inside
Every envelope contains four things: a travel letter printed on linen paper, a 5×7 limited edition fine art print (hand-signed), a regional recipe card from wherever the story took place, and a 4×6 art postcard you can keep or send. Four things to hold. Twenty minutes to stop.
Each print is a limited edition fine art print, hand-signed by Tim. They are inspired by the place featured in that month's letter — not generic travel imagery. Because they're limited and tied to a specific letter, they won't be reprinted or sold separately.
The letters come from wherever Tim happens to be — a market in Portugal, a café in Italy, a quiet afternoon in Nebraska. They are written in personal voice at a specific place, unhurried pace. Not travel writing as a genre. More like a letter from a friend who pays attention.
A regional recipe from wherever the story took place, printed on a card with art on the back. Something you could actually cook. Something to keep on your counter or pin to your wall.
Subscribing
The first 100 subscribers lock in $15/month or $135/year (three months free). After the founding 100, the price moves to $18/month or $180/year. Founding member pricing is yours for as long as you remain subscribed.
Yes. Monthly subscribers can cancel before their next billing date. Annual subscribers can cancel before renewal. There is no cancellation fee and no hoops to jump through — just a simple process and no hard feelings.
Yes — the First Envelope Guarantee. If the first envelope arrives and it doesn't feel like something you want to keep receiving, email Tim and he'll refund you completely. No explanation needed. No hard feelings. He'd rather you try it and know than wonder.
Yes, and it makes a particularly good one — for the person in your life who moves too fast and knows it. Reach out directly to arrange gift subscriptions. The envelope arrives at their door; the card with your note can go inside.
Shipping & Delivery
We ship within the United States and internationally. International shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your location. If you have any questions about delivery to your country, reach out at [email protected] before subscribing.
Envelopes ship on the last day of each month for the following month — so the April letter ships on or around March 28th, the May letter ships on or around April 30th, and so on. Each piece is assembled by hand before it goes in the mail. This is not a company running a fulfillment center — it's a practice, assembled carefully, and sent with intention.
Get in touch directly. Lost or damaged envelopes will be resolved — either with a replacement where available, or a credit toward your subscription. The goal is for something to arrive in your hands in good condition, always.
About Tim & the Work
Tim O'Neill — artist, writer, and workshop facilitator. He paints, cooks, wanders, and pays attention. Unhurried Letters is not a company. It's a practice. One person, one envelope, assembled by hand, once a month.
A free email newsletter from Tim — a lighter, more frequent companion to the physical letters. If you're not ready to subscribe to Unhurried Letters yet, joining the newsletter is a good way to get a sense of the voice and the work before committing to a founding spot.
Write to Tim directly at [email protected]. He reads everything and responds personally. This is, after all, a correspondence.
