La Lettre LittéraireThree mornings a week

Gift & referral

Pass on the reading — never the money.

The finest way to love a book is to hand it to someone. Give the appointment as a gift, or let it spread around you.

Start by subscribing →

A note on language. Every letter is, for now, written in French — the language in which La Lettre Littéraire began. Subscribing today means receiving these letters exactly as they are written, in French; an English edition is on its way, and this page will be the first to announce it.

Give a gift box

a present that reads all year long

A gift box is a subscription given away — a year of discoveries for someone you care about. Each recipient receives a sealed card, in the house style, carrying your own words. Entirely digital: nothing to wrap, everything to pass on.

One reader

€39

A year given to one person.

Five readers

€149

Five years given — the table of friends.

Refer, in the manner of a club

the gift, never the hard sell

Every subscriber receives a personal link to share. When someone they refer genuinely joins the appointment, they are thanked — not in money, but in gift boxes of their own to give away: three months of discovery for a new reader. Reading calls for more reading.

As your referrals add up, you climb through titles drawn from the world of books — from Reader to Passer-on, all the way to Academician — with, at the highest ranks, the distinction of Influence: a purely honorary measure of the circle of readers born from you.

Our rule, without exception:money never changes hands between readers — never a commission, never “earn by recruiting”. We pass on reading, and standing.

It all begins with a first letter

Gift boxes and referrals are opening soon. Take your place now.
