A letter subscription is a unique gift for anyone who likes getting fun mail.
I'm Janice MacLeod, the creator of Paris Letters, illustrated letters sent in the mail. After a decade of sending letters about Paris, I've added a Typewriter Letters subscription. I type a letter on a manual typewriter, add illustrations, a few vintage stamps, and send it off to you.
BIG NEWS! The book based on the Paris Letters is a New York Times best seller. My letters have also been featured in Business Insider, Forbes, National Geographic, The Huffington Post, Canadian Living, Oxford University Press, and the CBC.
My blog (janicemacleod.com) has been awarded one of the top Paris blogs. In addition to Paris-infused posts, I write about hatching escape plans from corporate life, making a living with your art, and how to write books.
Speaking of books... There are now three Paris books by Janice MacLeod.
1) DEAR PARIS, Amazon #1 in multiple categories
2) A PARIS YEAR, one of USA Today’s most beautiful books
3) PARIS LETTERS, a New York Times best seller

5 out of 5 starsI really love this watercolor from "Dear Paris" of an outdoor flower stall in a breezy, wet October -- so much so that I also got a large tote with this illustration. The notebook pages are good quality, lined on both sides, and there is a heavy-duty page at the end with pockets on each side. Nice ring binding (not annoying spiral). Great quality!

About JaniceMacLeodStudio
The story behind Paris Letters
I send painted letters to those who crave fun mail. Most letters are about my life in Paris. I create a piece of art each month, then write a letter on it. I copy the letter, personalize each copy (Dear Jane, Dear Spence, Dear YOU), and send it out snail-mail style to those who like to see a sweet surprise in their mailbox.
BOOKS
My new book A PARIS YEAR, is a travel journal of my days and nights in Paris.
My book, PARIS LETTERS, is about how I came to create the letters you'll find here in the shop. I'm pleased and delighted that it made it onto the New York Times best seller list. Once falling for a charming butcher and deciding to hang my beret in Paris, I had to come up with a way to afford my new life. These letters are the result and have been shared around the globe with lovers of letters and of Paris.
