Some of us were always the ones who lingered in libraries… who followed footnotes, who kept notebooks full of half-thoughts and definitely found comfort in quiet rituals. That’s the spirit behind The Still Writing Society. We opened the Society for those who need a pause, a quiet moment with depth and pleasure. Each month we chose a theme, the kind of idea you might stumble upon while wandering an old library. When you sign up for the Society, you receive monthly letters, an envelope with a letter, notes and ephemera to spark your curiosity and inspiring your journaling. Worldwide delivery. It is not meant to instruct, but to invite. No rush. No noise. Just a pause. Your own (dark) academia moment. (Link in bio 🪶)
Summaries and annotations are included in every letter.

this view, a warm coat, book and tea. That’s all.

Made for the quietly curious

The Still Writing Society was created out of a love for slow study, quiet mornings, and the soft nostalgia of paper. It’s for people who find comfort in journals, libraries, dimly lit desks, and the kind of learning that happens quietly, without urgency.

Each letter is an invitation: to pause, to think, to observe, to feel a little more connected to the world and to yourself.

If you romanticize studying, reading, writing, or the gentle ritual of opening the mail… you belong here.

Manifesto

We gather in the quiet hours.
We keep lamps low and books open.
We meet where margins are thick with notes
and pages have the faint scent of midnight.

We believe in study as devotion.
We believe in reading slowly until sentences loosen meaning in our hands.
We believe in the stubborn practice of learning
as a way to become larger than we were.

We collect questions like precious objects.
We annotate, argue, underline, and return.
We prefer a single true paragraph to a thousand surface thoughts.
We prefer a single sustained sentence to a thousand fragments of noise.

We honour ritual.
We fold our letters into envelopes.
We seal thoughts with wax and with attention.
We carry pocket notebooks like charms.
We learn by doing the small, patient work of attention.

We are lovers of books and lovers of argument.
We value curiosity more than certainty.
We choose the slow route toward wisdom.
We choose evenings filled with texts and coffee and the soft sound of turning pages.

We do not romanticise suffering.
We honour study as care.
We do not pretend knowledge is comfort,
but we know it is courage shaped into sentences.

This is a practice of attention.
A discipline of wonder.
A taste for the ancient, the difficult, the beautiful.

We are those who are Still Writing.
