Information on pre-orders | 2027 Collection

Pre order campaign launch: WEDNESDAY 22ND JULY 2026

For avid Moon Phase Studios followers, you’ll be more than aware that every summer we launch a pre-order campaign to raise the vital capital needed to privately publish our 13 Moon Journals.

This will be our fourth edition (eek) and we are thrilled to be able to keep going with this passion project - supported by you!

***********

So mark your calendars, as our pre order will launch under the golden glow of the Leo sun, 

WEDNESDAY 22ND JULY 2026

***************

Before I go in to too much detail about pre-orders, I want to give some more detail about our newer items this year:

The Travel Planner

Requests from our community led us to design this new product. You wanted to travel and pack lightly...something the in-depth 13 Moon Journal doesn't currently allow you to do. So our solution is a dateless travel planner with tearaway diary pages which can be stuck or glued into the 13 Moon Journal upon your return. The Travel Planner is accompanied by a Z-fold booklet with all the major moon phases, dates and astrological info. Please note, this does not contain the same information as the 13 Moon Journal and is not designed to replace it. 

Enamel Pins

We found a London based Pin manufacturer who have been around since the 1800's and working with these guys has been an absolute joy (shout out to Brian , customer service extraordinaire👌). These newer items for MPS have been made with best quality hard enamel and designed to last. We hope they become part of many more enamel pins from us.

Book sleeve

Okay, the book sleeve is not new, but our previous supplier was UK based (yey) but outsourced to China (boo) so we have searched high and low for new manufacturers. It's near impossible to have embroidery pre-manufacture in the UK, but instead we've have found very reputable suppliers in Turkey. This means EVERYTHING we create is sustainably made in the UK or Europe.

Price

Just a note on prices...EVERYTHING is costing us more this year, as is the same story for price hikes on all commodities. We have however capped our prices and mirroring the price we sold our journals, calendars and book sleeve for the last two years. We don't know if we can continue this next year but we are doing what we can not to add the extra £'s on to our customers!

 

And now, here’s some FAQ’s about our pre-order campaign:

 

Why do we need to do pre-orders?

We’re a small business, we choose the best quality products and print in relatively small batches so that means the cost to us is high. If we were to borrow the capital needed to cashflow these projects it would incur more expense onto you the customer. Placing a pre-order means we can incentivise a discount to our pre-order supporters as well as gauging the interest for these products to place orders accordingly.

 

What do we get in return for placing a pre-order?

A discount! You purchase either a 13 Moon Journal or one of the bundles we have created and receive a pre-order discount on those items. Sit back and wait for them to be shipped to you in September so you have them in plenty of time for their starting date on 24th December 2026.

What will be available to pre-order?

Can I alter the items in the pre-order?

No, unfortunately not. The only items available to pre-order are the two bundles (Complete Moon Collection and Moon Journal Signature Set) and the individual 13 Moon Journal. You can add multiples of these pre-order items but cannot swap items listed within the pre-order bundles. If you want to curate your own items in your cart, we advise that you wait until the pre-order campaign has ended and purchase them directly when readily available in September 2026. Our larger Moon Calendar will go live once pre-orders end, so is it not available alongside our discounted items.

Can I add other items from the website to my pre-order to be delivered at the same time?

Yes! This year, you can add other items from our website to your order, alongside your 'pre-order', BUT you will have to wait to receive them all together when pre-orders ship. If you want an item like our Letter Writing Set and a pre-order journal for example, then please place two separate orders to receive the Writing Set straight away.

Can I split the order to ship to separate addresses?

No, unfortunately we do not have this option available in our system. Please place two separate orders to separate addresses.

When will I receive my pre-order?

We will receive all our inventory early September 2026 and we predict it could take up to 4 weeks to fulfil all pre-orders. We will aim for pre-orders to be dispatched by end of September 2026 and you will receive a shipment notification email and tracking link once dispatched. We aim for pre-orders to be fulfilled in the order we received them, dependant on stock availability.

When will the pre-order offer end?

Depending on how it is progressing, we are expecting to run our pre-order campaign for 6-8 weeks until mid September, but we reserve the right to end the campaign at any given time. Notice will be given via our emails and social media when the pre-order campaign is coming to an end.

When does the 13 Moon Journal 2027 begin?

The start date is the 24th December 2026 (the last Full Moon of that year) and continues for the next 13 moon cycles ending on the last Dark Moon of 2027 (26th December 2027).

 

What timezone is the 13 Moon Journal in?

We have one version of the 13 Moon Journal in London GMT. Please read this article here about using your 13 Moon Journal in your own timezone.

What if I change my mind or want to return my preorder?

Please contact us to cancel and refund your pre-order in full, before we dispatch it. If you have received your pre-order items and want to return them to us unused and in perfect condition, please email us at info@moonphasestudios.com to organise a return. We recommend reading our Return and Refund policy here before placing an order. 

Can I hold my pre-order and specify when I want it delivered in case I am away?

We cannot organise a specific delivery date as we will be fulfilling all pre-orders in the order they were received. We recommend placing your pre-order to a shipping address that will be able to retrieve your items during the months of September and October. Alternatively you can also wait until the pre-order campaign has ended to place your order directly, which will be dispatched within 1-2 days.

An end note, from artist and founder Hayley, about pre-orders:

"It still blows my mind that people, whether you've been with us for years or you've only just discovered us, are happy to buy products that don't even exist yet. You're essentially saying, "Go on then, we trust you," and that's a pretty incredible vote of confidence!

Running a small business means every order genuinely matters. Every penny from preorders goes straight back into creating products we're proud of, pieces we hope bring you as much joy as they do us.

So, to everyone who's joining us on this next adventure and helping bring these new creations into the world: thank you. We honestly couldn't do it without you, and we're so grateful you've chosen to be part of the journey."
