Francesca's Words
Want to escape into another world for a while? Let's escape together.
Signed Books, Book Merchandise & More
Support your favourite indie writer (me) by shopping on your favourite indie seller platform (Folksy).
Sign up to my newsletter for updates on new items, and check out the No. 1 Readers’ Club for behind the scenes updates about designing pieces – with the chance to vote on new items! As of 2026, my stationery lines (Mythology Mayhem, Just Do Your Homework, Civil Writes) are winding down so I have more physical and mental space for my books and other work. Get them while you can.
Please note I am only shipping to Great Britain.
FAQs
What’s Folksy?
An independent, UK-based shopping platform for arts, crafts and beautiful things.
What are the shipping times?
I ship within 3-5 days as a rule, unless it’s a holiday in which case there will be a note in the shop announcement. Please note I don’t control the postal service so can’t predict when your item will make it to you. If it’s been over 10 days since I marked the item as ‘shipped,’ get in touch.
Where are your items made?
In the UK, as a rule, by independent manufactures. Occasionally I experiment with other suppliers – so my Bezzina’s Emporium sticky notes are from Vograce in the US.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Credit and debit cards and PayPal.
Can I return items?
Yes, unless they’re personalised – so no returns on books I’ve dedicated to someone by name.
Do you do gift vouchers?
Yes, here. They’re valid for 18 months.
Why no international shipping?
Brexit, the orange man in the white house, the economy… I hope it will return one day. Please get in touch if you’re very keen on something and I’ll see what we can do!
Signed Books
I can sign and dedicate my paperbacks to you or a loved one. Let me know in the order notes if I’m mailing the book straight to your giftee – so I don’t thank them for their order and request they leave a review!
Book Merchandise
Inspired by the Bezzina’s Emporium world, these bookmarks, stickers, sticky notes and pencils are limited edition and available in various bundles. There’s also the option to add a signed copy of Rotting Trees to your order too. You can learn more about Rotting Trees here.
