ABOUT OUR NEW FICTION SUBSCRIPTION:

Perfect for the literature lover with their finger on the pulse. 

Gift (or self-gift of course!) the freshest new fiction writing in paperback, sent beautifully gift-wrapped in our signature livery of brown paper and blue ribbon. Over the next year discover twelve of the latest novels, spanning genre and continent, and chosen by our booksellers to excite and inspire. 

Sent from our Mayfair bookshop, we will deliver six gift-wrapped parcels of two paperback books every other month, each including a different monthly bookmark designed by the wonderful Cressida Bell.

Your lucky recipient will receive a welcome pack from us to introduce them to their subscription. Including an elegant gift card and letter telling them about the subscription, we can also include a hand-written personal message on one of our illustrated postcards. Do pop a message for your recipient in the notes at checkout to include this in the welcome pack.  

• Please note that postage is not included in the cost of the subscription and it will be added at checkout. We send all of our subscription books in pairs to minimise postage costs for our customers.
• If your recipient lives in Canada or Switzerland there is an additional £60 charged after purchase. This will be sent to you as an invoice via email. If you would prefer to pay over the phone, call us on 02076290647.
• For any questions, do check out our FAQs on the subscriptions page or get in touch with us at enquiries@heywoodhill.com.
