What's Included
Each month, you’ll receive a beautiful, colourful package in your mailbox packed with:
Connection
Direction
You’ll get two fun, easy projects, each in their own sealed envelope. These are bite-sized and expandable — you can do them in 10 minutes or you can work on them all month long. They’ll also be fun — you’ll be cutting things up, incorporating random objects into stories, writing to people.
Instruction
You’ll also get a delicious writer’s self-care assignment each month, to bring your body and heart into the process of creation.
Treats
Writing is hard and treats are important. Every month you’ll get something extra; a poem designed to be framed, an affirmation card, a sticker… A little something to remind you that creativity, pleasure and beauty are all connected.
Giving Back
For every 20 subscriptions that come in, we donate a 3-month membership to someone who can’t afford it. Every year a portion of our profits go to Indigenous Climate Action to give back to the earth.
Truth is, you are a writer. This pack will lead you back to that sweet truth, over and over, with joy and thought and fun, every month.
What People Are Saying
“Opening this beautiful package felt like such an adult treat. I had been lacking inspiration to write, this package got my fires going again and the prompts challenged me to tap into new ideas. It was like having a secret lover sending me the best kind of intimate mail, beautiful, delicate, and something just for me.”
“Receiving my Hello Writer package in the mail put such a smile on my face, which only grew when I opened the envelope and perused it’s contents. It was such a treat to receive fun little goodies as well as exercises that I would usually only do in a Firefly class. Doing these exercises at home meant that I could spend as much time or as little as I wanted, and it was a real joy playing with words in my own time. I can’t wait to see what more is to come.”
“Who doesn’t love getting mail! But this is so much more: Opening up the Hello Writer envelope is like opening up a care package from the most supportive, inspiring and thoughtful friend you have... the friend who gives you the biggest hugs and nudges you forward; the friend who just wants you to keep exploring your creative soul.”
“Getting mail is always exciting, and doubly so when it’s from Firefly!”
“My heart almost exploded with the letter to us. You are something else!”
“Thank you for nourishing my writing and my writer self.”

Who It's For
This subscription service is designed for people who:
Have an longing to write that often goes under-served, even unnoticed.
Sometimes (or always) need a little direction to get their pens moving.
Have a great appreciation for beauty, care, loving details and treats.
Miss the feeling of looking at their mailbox with joyful anticipation.
Long to reconnect to the joy and power of their own writing, their own vision, their own truth.
Find it hard to carve out huge stretches of time, but still want to keep their creative voices alive and active.
Want to have fun with writing again — to be spontaneous, light, curious and tuned to wonder.
This subscription service won't try to give you:
Critique or feedback on your writing. We're all about supporting your unique writing journey.
Direction on how to make it through a big project. We do that personal and complex stuff in workshops and through coaching.
Rules and how-to’s — you’re smarter than the rules, and your writing improves when you write.
Help writing things you don’t want to write. You’re unlikely to get your end-of-year report done with the help of these packs. But you never know, a little inspiration can take you to unexpected places.
