Congratulations

You’re going to Yorkshire.

Your place is held. Eight women, five months of reading, and one week at the Boar’s Head — and you’re one of them.

I’m so glad you’re coming. Your receipt and a welcome email from stacy@endpapersociety.com are on their way now. Here’s everything else, so you don’t have to go looking for it.

What you booked

Trip
A Literary Escape to Yorkshire
Dates
Thursday 30 September – Sunday 10 October 2027
Room
A room of your own, The Boar’s Head, Ripley
Paid today
$1,000 deposit
Balance
$6,450, in three equal installments on 1 March, 1 June and 1 August 2027. We’ll invoice you for each one.

Two things to do this week

  1. Buy travel insuranceIt’s required for the trip, and buying it now means your cover starts now — not the week before you fly. Compare travel insurance plans here (an affiliate link).
  2. Check your passportMake sure it’s valid for your whole stay. US citizens visiting the UK also need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before they travel; you apply online and it takes a few minutes.

Don’t book your flights yet unless you want to. We’ll send flight guidance in the spring, so everyone arrives in London on the morning of Friday 1 October and can take the same train north.

What happens between now and October

  1. In the next few minutesYour receipt and a welcome email, from stacy@endpapersociety.com. Add that address to your contacts so nothing lands in spam.
  2. 1 March 2027Your first installment.
  3. May 2027The book club begins. You’re added to the private group channel, the first book is announced, and the call dates go out. This is where you meet the other seven.
  4. Spring 2027Flight guidance, so you can book to land on the morning of 1 October.
  5. 1 June & 1 August 2027Your second and final installments.
  6. September 2027Everything practical: packing for Yorkshire in October, the train plan, and the last book of the arc.
  7. Thursday 30 September 2027We fly.

Know someone who should come too?

The first thing most people do after booking is text a friend. If there’s a reader in your life who’d love this, send her the trip page. There are only eight places, and it’s nicer to arrive knowing one of them already.

Eight spots. Wine in the ruins. One of them is yours.

For Hosting Guild members

Why this page is built the way it is

  1. It starts with congratulations, not a receipt. She has just spent real money. The first thing she reads should confirm she made a good decision, before any numbers.
  2. It repeats exactly what she bought. Dates, room, what she paid and what she owes, in one box. It stops the “wait, did that go through?” email before she writes it.
  3. It gives her two jobs, not ten. Insurance and passport are the only things she needs to do now. Everything else has a date, so she can stop thinking about it.
  4. The timeline fills the long, quiet gap. Months pass between booking and travel. Showing what arrives, and when, keeps her excited and stops her wondering whether she was forgotten.
  5. It asks her to tell a friend while she’s most excited. The minute after booking is when someone is most likely to share, and a friend who books is the easiest sale you’ll ever make.
