Under EU and German consumer law (§ 312g BGB / EU Directive 2011/83), you have 14 days from purchase to withdraw — provided your letter has not yet been submitted. Submission constitutes your explicit request to begin the individually performed service, at which point the right of withdrawal lapses under § 356 Abs. 4 BGB. Your submission must be made within 90 days of purchase; unredeemed pages after this period are non-refundable. After submission, you have 14 days to request removal before design begins. A formal withdrawal form will be included in your order confirmation email. AlmaA commits to acknowledging every submission within 14 working days.
Some feelings — grief, love, gratitude, transformation — need a page of their own. Some people deserve more than a memory that fades. Letters to Life is the AlmaA anthology: a real, printed book where your letter lives permanently, beautifully, alongside others who chose to preserve something that mattered.
You choose one of twelve emotional themes. You write your letter — 300 to 500 words — to a person, a memory, a feeling, or a version of yourself. We receive it, design your page with care, and print it in the AlmaA Book alongside letters from others who carried something worth remembering. Your page exists forever.
Letters to Life comes with something no ordinary anthology offers: awards. Some of our partners — brands, artists, and curators within the AlmaA world — read through the pages and personally choose their favourites. They may decide to send a gift to the author of the page that moved them. We share nothing without your permission. AlmaA also has its own awards for Letters to Life — to be announced when the anthology is complete. Write something deep. Write something human. Write something that would touch another soul. That is the only criterion that has ever mattered.
A letter to a person who is no longer here — whether they passed from this world, or simply and quietly walked out of yours. Both leave something unanswered. This is where you say it.

Not written in regret, but in the spirit of a flower: beautiful precisely because it does not last. Enjoy what is present today, for tomorrow it may be gone. This letter is a lesson in presence.

flip for an example ↻Strip away every label — every category, every side, every division the world has imposed — and what remains? A person, experiencing this extraordinary and bewildering life for the very first time, precisely as you are. Write to that person. The stranger. The one whose life looks nothing like yours. Write to the part of them that is not different from you at all. We all live once. Not a single person will ever walk the same pattern of days as another. That is not a distance — it is an invitation.

You may withdraw from this purchase within 14 days of completing your order, provided you have not yet submitted your letter. Your submission must be made within 90 days of purchase; after this window the page reservation lapses and the fee is non-refundable.

300 to 500 words. In your own voice. At your own pace. After purchase you receive a private, secure submission portal — yours alone. Your submission window is 90 days from the date of purchase. If you have not submitted within 90 days, your page reservation lapses and the fee is non-refundable. This keeps the book in motion.
There are no rules beyond honesty. There are, however, AlmaA Guidelines — a short read that tells you what this space is for and what it gently asks to leave outside. Every submission passes through our content review before entering the anthology. We want every word you write to count.
The AlmaA team takes your words and gives them a home — your name, your theme, your letter, formatted in the AlmaA style. Read it over before you send it. When you are ready, submit it — you have 90 days from purchase. When you submit, that is your moment. Design begins from there.
Once submitted, your letter enters the design process and the order is final. You have 14 days from the date of submission to request removal — write to letters@thealmaa.com and your letter will be removed from the production queue. After those 14 days, the page is in design and cannot be withdrawn. In line with GDPR (Art. 17 DSGVO) and § 356 Abs. 4 BGB, the processing fee is non-refundable once the individual service has begun. Estimated time from submission to completion: 4–8 weeks. We will keep you informed.
When the anthology reaches its page capacity, we go to print. Your page is permanent. This book does not go out of print — it goes into homes, onto shelves, and quietly into the future.
If you chose the €50 option, we reach out before shipping to confirm where it should go. If you chose chose €15euro;19 and want a copy when the book is ready, you will be among the first to know.
The AlmaA Book has a finite number of pages. When it is full, it goes to print — and there is no waitlist after that. The people who claimed their page will have a piece of something permanent. The ones who thought about it and waited will not. This is not a deadline technique. It is simply how a real, printed book works.
