All monthly letters will be on the 15th. Mailing begins on the 20th of each month and continues through the end of the month. You should expect your lesson toward the end of each month, or at the beginning of the following.
Anytime! If you subscribe in the beginning of the month, you will have to wait until later in the month for your first lesson to arrive. However, your acceptance letter will be mailed within 5 business days.
Charm Post lessons are mailed with USPS First Class Mail (aka stamp mail) and take a bit longer to arrive than standard shipped packages. If you are concerned that your envelope is lost in the mail, please contact us for a free replacement. Learn more about lost letters here.
Monthly lessons begin mailing after the 20th of each month.
It's difficult to apply a firm age recommendation to Charm Post. We will let you decide for yourself based on the following details:
- The writing style is comparable to Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. There are some advanced words used in the stories that younger readers may need assistance in learning.
- The story content is appropriate for all ages, though some themes may be a little spooky. Since Charm Post is all about magic, enchanted creatures, and fantastical places, some elements and imagery may be eerie or frightening to young readers. You will never see inappropriate imagery such as gore, nudity, or violence.
- Occasionally Charm Post will include puzzles, riddles, or translation decoding. These are designed to be challenging but fun.
We recommend one subscription per family. You are welcome to order one for each member of the family, but do keep in mind that they will be receiving the same lesson.
Every lesson is digitally hand-illustrated by the creator. The content is written from scratch every month. Read more about the process here.
Yes we do! The only difference is a slightly higher postage price - $1.65 for an international stamp.
Every month of Charm Post is uniquely different. Past lessons have included the following storylines:
- Magical automatons in Egypt
- Pegasus anatomy and history
- Care & Keeping of Wands and Staffs
- British Strider Dragon Education
- Fortune Telling Cats in Ireland
Each lesson is approximately 700-1000 words and includes tidbits of fun, educational lore and the occasional puzzle or riddle. Each lesson also comes with a collectible trading card and a surprise third item like a spellbook page, potion recipe, or anatomy card.
