Our best-selling series. Jen refuses to believe her neighbor's death was what the police say it was, and her eight letters pull your reader into the investigation week by week.

Why Fiction Letters Make a Thoughtful Hanukkah Gift
Hanukkah is about light that lasts longer than anyone expected. A Fiction Mail series works the same way: one gift, and a story that keeps unfolding for weeks or months.
A Gift With a Built-In Countdown
Every series is told one letter at a time, so there's always a next chapter to look forward to. It turns the mailbox into a small weekly celebration.
Personal in a Way Books Aren't
The reader's name is woven throughout the story, and each letter is printed in a realistic handwriting font and mailed in a kraft envelope. It feels like getting mail from a friend.
Start on Any Night
Decide when letter one goes in the mail. Schedule it to go out during the holiday, or after the eighth night so the gift keeps the glow going.
Something to Hand Over in Person
Print a Fiction Mail gift note to give on the night you exchange gifts. A gift note is also included with the first letter when you mark the order as a gift.
Small Gifts or One Big One
A 4-letter series at $29.99 makes an easy gift for one of the eight nights. A 20-letter bundle works as the big one.

Hanukkah Gift FAQ
Can the first letter go out during Hanukkah?
Yes. You pick the exact date we mail the first letter, so you can time it to the holiday. Ordering early gives you the most flexibility, since December is a busy month for the mail.
Is the Time Traveler series really eight letters?
This version is. It's eight weekly letters, one for each night of the holiday in spirit. Time Traveler also comes as 4 weekly letters or 12 monthly letters.
Can I give them something on the night we exchange gifts?
Yes. Use our Print a Gift Note page to print a note for the series you chose and hand it to them in person.
Do you gift wrap?
The first letter can be wrapped in your choice of four papers and sent in a rigid envelope with your personal note. Just mark the order as a gift on the product page.
How much is shipping, and will they be charged later?
Shipping within the US is free, and there's nothing recurring. The opening letter travels by USPS Priority Mail with tracking; the others go by regular First Class stamped mail.
