how the season works

one letter a month, in our voices

Nora Lou narrates each letter, kettle in the background. Every drop lands in the Long Story Long paid tier on Substack the first Sunday of the month, starting October 4, with a printable PDF transcript to read along, tuck into a journal, or hang on the fridge. Nothing is charged until the season opens.

in their words, from the same 2025 subscriber surveys

Six drops. Six slow Sundays.

A small ritual you can keep for six months. First Sunday of every month, a new audio letter arrives, voice-narrated by Nora Lou, with a printable PDF transcript you can read along to, tuck in a journal, or hang on the fridge. Somewhere between a voice note from a friend and a quiet hour with the kettle on.

Six months of small Sundays, audio + printable PDFs. Pledge now. Pay when the season starts.

the voices

Nora Lou narrates. Alex and Taylor are in the room.

Nora Lou reads the main letters. She's the voice the original 50 subscribers fell in love with, and she's been waiting for the audio version since the beginning.

her sign-off, every month
her sign-off, every month

Alex and Taylor record the bonus tracks. The behind-the-scenes audio. The dinner conversations that became the next month's letter. The kettle going off. The dog barking. The arguing about whether the bakery in Porto closes at four or four-thirty.

Before the audio, six paper envelopes. October 2025 to March 2026. Fifty subscribers, near-zero churn. The pilot above is the same stories — in our voices, with a printable PDF transcript for every drop so you can read along or print your own copy. The paper version comes back when the time is right.

before you pledge

Small questions, honest answers

What happens when I pledge?

You pick an amount and save your card. Nothing is charged today. When we turn on paid subscriptions in October, your pledge becomes a subscription automatically and Substack emails you the moment it does.

What do paid subscribers get?

The audio season is one part of it. Paid subscribers get every Cozy Corner Post drop with its printable PDF, the bonus behind-the-scenes tracks, monthly journaling prompts, and the full back library of past letters. Everything in the free letters stays included.

Will there be letters in the mail again?

Someday, we hope so. The paper edition is resting for a while, so for now the letters arrive in our voices, right to your inbox. If the paper letters make a comeback, subscribers will be the first to hear about it.

What will it cost?

You set your own pledge amount. We'll confirm season pricing when the doors open in October, and nothing converts above what you offered. If our price lands higher than your pledge, we ask first.

Can I change my mind?

Anytime before October. Cancel the pledge from your Substack account and that's that. No questions, nothing charged.

Do I need a Substack account?

One gets made from your email when you subscribe or pledge. The letters land in your inbox either way, so you can read along without ever opening the app.
