Persuasion:
A Year in Letters
The words we keep.
The things we find the courage to say.
Anne Elliot has spent years making room for other people. When her family must leave Kellynch Hall, she writes to the man she once expected to marry. The letter will remain unsent. Writing it changes something.
Our first proposed edition follows Austen’s story of second chances through newly imagined correspondence. It is a modern retelling, not a collection of letters written by Jane Austen. The story’s dates belong to the fiction; the postal edition is planned to unfold over twelve months of delivery.
- 24
- individual postal letters
- 12
- months of anticipation

The first design proof.
These pages test typography and reading order. They do not yet demonstrate the finished illustrated product, paper or envelope. We’re developing a story-specific set of 12 keepsakes; the reading companion shown here is a proposed variant.
