Frequently Asked Questions
About the Bisheh Project
What is the Bisheh Project?
The Bisheh Project is a living archive of letters written by artists and art professionals. These letters are personal, thoughtful, and printed with care. They are not manifestos or essays; they are quiet reflections on life, art, identity, and memory. Each month, a letter is mailed to members, offering a tactile and intimate experience in a fast-paced, digital world.
Membership & Letters
How much does it cost?
We offer two membership options:
Monthly Membership: $15/month
Annual Membership: $165/year
With a yearly membership, you save $15 and support the full cycle of the project.
When do letters ship?
Letters are mailed on the 20th of each month. If the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday, they will ship the next available business day.
Additionally, if you sign up for membership after the 18th of the month, you will receive your first letter the following month.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide. If there are delivery challenges in your country, we will reach out and work together to find a solution.
What if my letter hasn’t arrived?
Email us at negin@bishehproject.com. We’ll confirm your address and send a replacement.
U.S. delivery: 1–5 Business days
International delivery: 3 - 21 Business days
What is the “Letterkeeper” surprise?
Each month, 50 members will be randomly selected to receive a small surprise tucked in with their letter. It might be a postcard, a poem, a keepsake, or another handmade gesture. It’s our way of keeping beauty and magic in the mail.

Letters & Submissions
Are the letters available online?
No. These letters are not published digitally. They are made to be held, read slowly, and saved. This is a project about presence, not posts.
Can I submit a letter?
Currently, we work with invited contributors. We hope to open submissions in the future. Subscribe to our mailing list for updates.
Can I write back?
Yes! We love receiving letters in return.
Can I give a membership as a gift?
Yes. Simply sign up using the recipient’s name and mailing address. They’ll start receiving the letters directly, no extra steps needed.

Is Bisheh a nonprofit?
No. Bisheh is an independent, artist-led platform dedicated to curated correspondence. Your support helps us sustain and grow the project.
How did you even do this?
With heart, belief, and a lot of late-night Googling.
Bisheh grew out of a need to slow down and create space for voices often overlooked. We learned how to print letters, select meaningful paper, set up international shipping, and build an archive from scratch, one thoughtful step at a time.
There’s no big team behind this, just artists who care deeply and want to make something real. Thank you for being curious, for reading this far, and for believing in a slower way to connect.
Still have questions?
We’d love to hear from you.
