The Heart Behind Bookshelf
Stories come alive in small, meaningful moments - a letter arriving in the mail, the soft crinkle of paper opened on a cozy afternoon, or a bedtime story shared with a loved one. Bookshelf Letters began with the simple idea of making those moments shine brighter. Instead of sending stories to a printing press, every narrative is carefully crafted and addressed to you, forming a secret connection that arrives right at your doorstep.
Twice each month, your mailbox transforms into a treasure chest. Every letter is written with warmth, ending in a gentle cliffhanger that keeps the story close to your heart and anticipation growing. Whether you are seeking mystery, motivation, or a comforting bedtime ritual, each delivery brings a voice that feels genuine and personal. This is storytelling the way it was meant to be - delivered with intention and love.

Bookshelf Letter No.1
Emily and the Fairy in The Pink Shorts
For Girls: Ages 5 to 11
Dear (name),
I have a new story for you; one I think you’ll enjoy very much. Get comfortable, open your imagination wide, and let’s begin.
Emily was a thin young girl with long brown hair and big brown eyes. She was nearly seven years old when she and her parents moved into a great big old house in a very busy city. The house had been emptied for two years.
Emily was thrilled about the new house, mostly because she knew it meant she would finally get a big bedroom all to herself.
As she was unpacking her boxes of toys in her new room, she heard little scratching sounds every now and then, coming from the far end of the floorboards. At first, she thought it must be her dog, Coco, looking for treats. But when she checked and saw Coco wasn’t in the room, she began to wonder what else it could be.
