Terms & Conditions
Last updated: November 8, 2026
Welcome to Miriam’s Letters, published by Options Management LLC ("we," "us"). By using desk.miriamsletters.com (the "Site"), taking our assessment, or receiving our readings and correspondence, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.
Educational Nature of Our Content
Miriam’s Letters provides literary and educational content — including the Distance Reading, essays, and reviewed insights — developed with a trained Archivist. Our services are relational skill-building, not psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, or medical treatment. No professional–client relationship is created, and nothing here substitutes for care from a mental health professional. Many readers use Miriam’s Letters alongside their own professional care. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or dial 911.
The Distance Reading, the Drift Index™ and the Mirror are educational. They describe patterns of language between mothers and daughters, drawn from published research. They are not a clinical assessment, a diagnosis, therapy, counseling or medical advice, and they do not create a clinician–patient relationship. If you are worried about your own or your daughter’s health or safety, a doctor or licensed professional is the right person to call.
Eligibility
The Site and its offerings are intended for adults. Your participation certifies that you are 18 years of age or older.
Intellectual Property
All content on the Site — including Miriam’s Scarlet Season, the Almada Papers, the Distance Reading, essays, images, and branding — is the property of Options Management LLC and is protected by copyright. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.
Your Submissions
When you submit assessment answers, questions, or messages, you grant us the right to use them to prepare your readings and respond to you. We may draw on anonymized, de-identified themes from submissions to improve our content; we will never publish your personal story in an identifiable way without your consent.
SMS Correspondence
By providing your mobile number and ticking the separate, optional text-message checkbox, you agree to receive text messages from Miriam’s Letters (Options Management LLC) about your Distance Reading: a notice when it is ready, the Archivist’s reply, and appointment confirmations and reminders. We do not send marketing text messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Purchases and Subscriptions
The 4-Minute Assessment and your first Distance Reading are complimentary. No purchase or payment information is required to receive them. Continuing programs are offered on a monthly or annual basis; program pricing is disclosed in full before enrollment, and no charge is made without your express consent. Subscriptions renew automatically at the stated interval until cancelled. You may cancel at any time by emailing clara@miriamsletters.com; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and no further charges will be made. New enrollments are covered by a 30-day refund policy: if you request a refund within 30 days of your first program payment by emailing clara@miriamsletters.com, that payment will be refunded in full.
No Guarantees
Relationships are complex, and outcomes depend on many factors beyond any reading or guidance. We make no promises regarding reconciliation or any particular relational outcome.
Activity Notices
The Site may show brief notices that a mother started her Distance Reading. For these notices, a “start” means one click on the first question of the Distance Reading. A start does not mean the Reading was finished.
Every notice reflects a real start recorded on citizenshare.com or desk.miriamsletters.com. Notices rotate, so the same start may be shown to more than one visitor, but no visitor is shown the same start or the same research line twice on the same browser. We never create a notice without a real start behind it.
Notices show no names, locations, or answers; each is labeled “Mother: Private.” We do not verify the identity of the visitor who clicked. The research line in each notice is drawn from published studies and is not about the visitor who started.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Options Management LLC shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the Site or its content.
Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date reflects the current version. Continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance.

Questions about these Terms may be sent by emailing clara@miriamsletters.com.
