Two Birds One Stone is a memoir by Maggie O’Brien, written in lyric essay and released serially in smaller books/zines over the course of a year through an experimental project and mail club called “Bird Mail.”

What you get:

You’ll receive one zine/month (12 total) designed, written, stamped, and labeled by Maggie O’Brien, with illustrations by Carolina Porras-Monroy.
There will also be occasional surprises in the envelope: little notes, bookmarks, and poetic treasures.
A 5’ × 7’ print of the cover art.
You also have the option of separately buying a hardcover book sleeve, made and bound by myself. The idea is that you can slot in each zine into the interior elastic bands as you receive them—and by the end of the year, you’ll have a complete book (see photos). There will be more added to the website throughout the year!

How it works:

Choose your subscription: Full Year or Monthly
Order by the 15th of the month to receive the next month’s zine
You will be mailed one zine monthly (12 total) from September 2026 through August 2027. If you sign up after September, your first order will include the previous volumes up to that point (i.e. if you sign up by November 15, you will receive Zine 1-4 in your first shipment.)
Although the zines can be standalone pieces, they are meant to be read sequentially as an entire set as they’re released.

Frequently Asked Questions

By purchasing the “full year,” you’ll pay in full for all 12 volumes—but you’ll still receive the zines monthly.
Yes! You must sign up by the 15th of the month to receive the following month’s zine (i.e. sign up by December 15th to receive the newest zine in January).
If you purchase the full year after the project has already started, you’ll be mailed all previous zines in your first order, and will then resume with the mail-out schedule.
I get it! Ghosts aren’t for everyone. You can sign into your account and cancel anytime. If you paid for the Full Year, you won’t be given a refund. If you paid monthly, you’ll stop receiving monthly charges.
Zines ship out by the first week of each month and should arrive in 1-6 weeks, depending on if you’re in the U.S. or located internationally.
Shipments are not tracked and sent through USPS mail. Mishaps happen! If you’ve waited 6 weeks and still haven’t received one, you can email themagpieobrien@gmail.com and I’ll send you another.
The book is made using paper made from the miscanthus plant, as well as FSC certified paper, in an effort to choose more sustainable options. Our packaging is recyclable. Not everything is perfect, but it’s one of my main priorities.

“Mysterious. prismatic. unsettling, but in a good way. Two Birds One Stone is the closest you’ll get to an answer about what it means to be alive.”
