𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐦 & 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 · Whim & Wander: The Journal

When we started this little journal, we never imagined that we would so quickly find this many of you wandering alongside us. Yet here you are: readers, writers, and dreamers from all over the world, and we recently hit a number we didn’t think we’d see so soon: 1,000 subscribers.

A whole thousand of you!

The immensity of this isn’t lost on us. It’s terrifying, humbling, and positively incredible. So, as a “thank you” to this wonderful audience of ours, we decided to organize a little giveaway!

Without further ado, here are the details...

There will be two tiers (one free and one paid) and a total of four lucky winners.

Two winners to be selected

The first tier is for paid subscribers, because you guys are truly the reason this journal is afloat. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to pay our writers and keep our little lamp alight.

If you've been considering becoming a paid subscriber, we're currently running a 20% discount through the end of the giveaway ↓

Here’s what each winner will receive:

⁕ The very first print edition of Whim & Wander. This limited-edition volume features some of our most beloved pieces to date, gathered together in print for the first time. As the journal’s inaugural physical edition, it will never quite be replicated again; consider it a little piece of our history to keep on your shelf.

⁕ A beautiful quilted book bag, handmade with love by our editor, Sol. Yes, you heard that right: I made these with my own hands just for you! They’re the perfect size for any standard size book or journal (or several!), with a sturdy strap and extra pocket inside. Designed and sewn just right for a reader or writer.

⁕ One of my (Sol) all-time favorite smooth-writing pens for letters, journal entries, story ideas, and all the whimsical little thoughts that demand to be jotted down on paper.

⁕ A W&W sticker to decorate a journal or laptop with a little bit of on-brand whimsy.

The second tier is for our free subscribers, because you all are just as important. Without you, we wouldn’t be doing this giveaway!
