Something I've Been Working On

Hi Friend!

Late last year, I had the incredible chance to chat with a good number of you to brainstorm and talk about possibilities for Written Word's next steps and we have been prayerfully discerning what that would look like, especially in the state we are in currently, as a Canadian product-based business. We're currently still trying to manage it as much as we could, as it's definitely been a challenge managing inventory in both places, with rising costs of materials and tariffs and logistics.  

That's also why we have been working on refining certain parts of our business, like our online courses and digital offerings, and our Write Slowly Collective. At the same time, we've been asking God where is He leading us, and if there's something we can do from our Canadian base. 

And as you may know, at the core of Written Word is really about writing His Word, and I've dreaming about a new way to rest in God's Word through writing. It's not yet a launch or an announcement, but it's an invitation. 

The Working Name is The Scribe

The heart behind it is simple: A faith-based snail mail subscription. Each month, you'll receive a piece of mail from us - an envelope opened slowly, a verse written in calligraphy that you can keep or display, behind it, a story from one of our community members and a prayer that goes alongside it. It would also include traceable worksheets of additional Bible Verses that are in the same theme, and a link to a video of myself writing the verses and digital versions of the worksheets. And of course, if it's from Written Word.. it's going to be packaged beautifully, and you'll also receive a little stationery piece alongside it - like stickers, bookmarks, and other meaningful surprises. 

It won't just be for calligraphers - it's meant for anyone who wants to rest in His Word, to hold it, trace it, sit with it, without the pressure to do it well.
