The First Chapter โ Founder's Collection
The First Chapter โ Founder's Collection
Some evenings ask everything of you. This one asks nothing at all.
Welcome to The First Chapter โ Founderโs Collection: a thoughtfully curated evening built around a story chosen for you.
๐ A Story Chosen for You โ Never at Random
When you order, tell me about the stories you love: the genres you reach for, books you've enjoyed, and anything you'd rather not read. Then I'll choose a pre-loved book especially for your evening โ carefully inspected, and thoughtfully selected with your reading preferences in mind.
Some stories will make you laugh. Some will make you think. Some may become lifelong favorites. Every one has been chosen with care.
Because the surprise isn't getting a random book. It's discovering a story chosen with you in mind.
Inside Your Evening
Every Founderโs Collection includes:
๐ A thoughtfully selected pre-loved book
๐ Signed & individually numbered Founderโs Collection Reading Passport
๐ Evening Forecast card
๐ Journey Card
๐ฏ๏ธ Handcrafted lavender candle
โ Premium Harney & Sons tea
๐ฏ Honigma honey packet
๐ช Biscoff cookie
These aren't simply things tucked inside a box. Together, they're an invitation to slow down, step away from the noise, and make an evening your own. Light the candle, brew the tea, press play โ and settle into a book that has already been loved once.
๐ฆ When It Ships
Your box is hand-prepared and ships within 3โ5 days. Shipping is free anywhere in the U.S. After that, delivery timing is in the carrier's hands.
โจ Only 50 Will Ever Exist
Each Founderโs Collection is personally curated by me, one at a time.
No two evenings will be exactly alike. Once these 50 are gone, The First Chapter โ Founderโs Collection will never be offered again.
Every Story Continues.
When you finish the final page, your book's story doesn't have to end with you. Use your Journey Card to add your chapter to the Story Map and see where your book has traveled โ then, when the time feels right, pass it along to someone new.
One book. Many readers. Endless stories.
Welcome to The First Chapter.
Tell Me About the Stories You Love ๐
Share the genres you love, a favorite book or two, books youโve already read, and anything youโd rather not receive. Iโll use this to choose a pre-loved story just for you.
Sending this as a gift? It ships straight to them โ no price ever goes in the box. Tell me what they love to read in the box above, and Iโll handpick for them. The Matchmakerโs Note inside is handwritten either way.
