This Modern Love is a book, written by you and curated by Will Darbyshire, that aims to get to the heart of modern relationships.

If you would like to submit a photograph and quote to be considered for the back cover of the book, please email to The photo (and quote – optional) should sum up love to you in 2016. One final thing, before we send the book to print. It will be published on 11th August around the world. I love you all terribly and I hope you like the book as much as I liked putting it together. But ultimately, I hope, it will remind anyone who reads it, whether they’re in love or out of love, that we’re not alone. It’s a portrait of individual desires, of resentments and of fears. It’s sad, it’s funny, it’s tender and it’s cathartic. I have collected the letters together to form what I hope is a compendium of 21st century love, structured into the beginning, middle and end of a relationship.

Your letters are this book and you are the authors. Thank you for trusting me with your thoughts.

But it’s also been an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable process. It’s been an epic project, one of the biggest challenges of my life. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to all of you who wrote a hand-written letter, sent an email, took a picture or tweeted about the book. This Modern Love was a dream of mine it’s a dream come true thanks to everyone who submitted. After 6 months and over 15,000 heartfelt submissions later, from a staggering 100 countries, the first crowd-sourced book of its kind, This Modern Love is complete.Ī massive thank you to every single person who contributed: the talented writers, photographers and lovers.
