Text message terms

Every Chapter offers optional storytelling reminders for people who want a nudge to share another story with Emily. Signing up is not required to use Every Chapter. We do not send marketing texts.

Messages and frequency

If you sign up, you may receive at most one storytelling reminder a week, around the day and time you choose. We also send a one-time verification code when you request one to confirm your number. Timing and delivery can vary. The program is for US and Canadian mobile numbers and uses +1 877-723-1263.

How you sign up

Only the storyteller can sign up in their own signed-in account, after their first saved conversation or in Settings. A gift giver cannot sign up a recipient. The box is unticked until you choose it, and says:

Yes, text me one storytelling reminder a week from Every Chapter around the day and time I choose. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop, HELP for help. Consent isn’t required to use Every Chapter.

After you request a code, we text it to that number. Reminders begin only after you enter the code successfully.

Stopping and help

Reply STOP to stop texts. Reply HELP for help. Replying START may lift the carrier block, but does not restart reminders; to get reminders again you must sign up in the app and confirm your number with a new code. You can also pause, change or turn off reminders in Settings.
