This is not an ad. It’s a public service announcement.
Because creatives deserve websites that don’t look like tax software.
So we summoned three offerings for writers who want something beautiful, not branded. (Also: capitalism. Boo, hiss. [disappears through a trapdoor lined with velvet bookmarks])
Desdemona’s Handkerchief
Websites for writers, poets, and beautiful ghosts.
You wrote the book. Or the zine. Or the soft, strange archive of who you’ve been and what you’ve survived. Now it needs a home.
Desdemona’s Handkerchief is a trilogy of website offerings — built for writers who want something poetic, not polished. Something tender, not templated. Something alive and maybe a little haunted.
Softcover
A single-page site for poets, portfolio keepers, and quiet declarations.
Your digital calling card. Includes copy formatting, domain help, and launch support.
£150 setup · £75/year or £10/month maintenance
Marginalia
A full author site — for writers who need more room to breathe.
Includes 5 pages (home, about, works, contact, extras), plus formatting and gentle design help.
£250 setup · £100/year or £10/month maintenance
The Tombe
A complete literary legacy site — layered, ghostly, and built to hold it all.
Includes 8 pages, blog, newsletter, event archive, press page, and shop/resource setup.
£450 setup · £265/year or £23.75/month maintenance
Created by River & Celia at Underland. We believe writers deserve websites that feel like stories — not sales decks.

☍ The Underland Review
Out Now.
Read it…
And Weep.
The Underland Review: Issue One – This Zine Is a Lie is now live.
57 pages of soft monsters, glitch-lit poetry, haunted prose, cursed diagrams, and art that shouldn’t exist but does anyway. A digital archive stitched together with pocket lint, rage, and love.
☍ READ THE ZINE
Free to read, cursed to absorb. Share it with your coven, your nemesis, your local librarian.
☍ DOWNLOAD THE ZINE (Pay What You Want)
Keep a high-res PDF in your glitch archive. Every donation helps us print more, distribute wider, and one day pay the beautiful liars who make this possible.
☍ ORDER A PRINT COPY ($5.55 + your soul)
Hold the lie in your hands. Smell the ink. Feel the contradiction.
☍ Submissions for Issue Two Are Open
Deadline: Midnight August 10th, 2025
We’re seeking: poetry, prose, essays, visual art, sound pieces, spoken word, and other beautiful misfits. If it glitches, bleeds, howls, or doesn’t fit in polite company — we want it.
We accept text, image, and audio formats. MP3s, JPGs, PDFs, .docx, strange attachments — bring us your fragments. Collaborative works are welcome.

We were never here.
