Our story
Letters that arrive like they were always meant for you
Afterlight Letters began with a bedtime story in Hungary, and a father who wanted something that would still matter after the light was out.
My name is Rajmond and I write from Hungary. This began at bedtime, with my daughter. I did not want another story pulled off a shelf and forgotten by morning. I wanted something written around her — a world that knew her name, and a reason for the telling that would still matter after the light was out. So I wrote.
Night after night, the stories stopped being only hers. They became letters. A character writes to you, and knows who is holding the page. You open one envelope at a time. Three pictures come with it, from the night the letter describes. Ten envelopes are one story, not ten sketches. The last night returns to the first place, and the person writing is no longer the person who began.
Some of these boxes are still for the hour before sleep. Others are for older children, and others for adults who want a story that arrives like mail. All of them come from the same room: a father in Hungary, writing something that was first meant for his daughter, now made in America for anyone who wants to be written to.

Written in voice
Every letter is written as the character — not about them. Luna does not describe herself. She writes to you from the route.
Physically mailed
Not a PDF. Not an email. A sealed letter in a character gift box, delivered to your door. The physical weight is part of the story.
Illustrated with care
Each letter carries original artwork — three pictures from the night the letter describes. The world comes to life.
For every reader
From bedtime stories to adults. Every age deserves a letter to look forward to every day, or week.
Las Vegas premiere
First edition — launching live
The first edition of Afterlight Letters launches at our Las Vegas premiere event. This is not a soft launch. It is a premiere — the kind where the curtain goes up and the lights come on.
Guests at the premiere will be among the first in the world to hold a sealed letter from Luna, Jonas, or any of our ten characters. The gift boxes will be available on the night, and the waitlist opens to the public at the same moment.
If you are on the waitlist before the premiere, you will receive a letter from us — written in character — the week it launches.

Afterlight Letters is a small team of writers, illustrators, and designers. We are based in the United States. Every character is written by a dedicated author who lives in that world for the duration of the series.
