Letters From Madeleine
This project is now finished! Thank you to all who were involved - if you would like a copy of one of the month’s letters, get in touch in the contact page and we’ll work something out.
Hello my sweet friends,
I have a creative proposition to share with you!
It’s an experiment in ideas that I’m calling “Letters from Madeleine.” You sign up from now until May 2021 to receive physical mail from me; a monthly collection of a copy of prose, music and art that you can hold in your hands, pass around your household, read without wifi, or pin on a bulletin board. Each month I will send you something unique and handcrafted, made with love using guitars, paper, pens, glue, scissors, my tiny recording studio, and a healthy curiosity. No Zoom, no social media, no scrolling - just you and I and the postal service.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
1. You decide you want a little Madeleine package in your real, physical mailbox once a month for the next six months (December through May).
2. You subscribe below, choosing the fee option that best suits your means. Your total cost for the six months ranges from $12 to $300, depending on the option you choose.
3. Each month I will send you your copy of a new creation – a letter plus a poem, a drawing, other creative musings … it’s a surprise!
4. Each month you will also receive a link to a subscribers-only website page, where you get special access to that month’s new song, video, demo, or other goodies.
5. You can absolutely write a letter back!
Think of it as a CSA!
Like a conventional CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture), where subscribers receive regular baskets of garden goodness, you will be a part of my own CSA – Community Supported Art – where you will receive ongoing creations that I hope will help feed your soul!
From my hand to your home, with love. I’m excited to see where this goes!

Fee Options
You can choose to pay from $2 to $50 per month, whatever works for your budget - my hope is that those who are able to spare a bit more can help to offset the cost for those who need to be more careful with their spending. (If you live outside of Canada, please consider contributing $10 CAD or more per month to help pay for mailing costs.)
Payments are through PayPal (you do not need an account) and are automatically withdrawn every month on the day of the month that you signed up. You can cancel anytime; the button is below.
If you sign up before December 1: You will receive your first package in early December.
If you sign up after December 1: You will receive your first package in early January.
Depending on when you subscribe, you will receive 5 or 4 or 3 (etc.) letters instead of 6, depending on what month you join in the fun. After May 2021, we will see how things are going and either continue on for those who wish, or shut-’er-down and focus on other things.
If you do not have a credit card, send me an email to madeleinerogermusic[at]gmail.com to make other arrangements. If you are giving this as a gift, or would like to change your mailing address info, send me an email after you’ve subscribed to madeleinerogermusic[at]gmail.com and we’ll iron out the details!
Sending love, and stay safe!
Madeleine
