Uppercase is no longer operating: its website does not load, and the service was listed as inactive and closed by May 2020, though we found no formal closure announcement. When it ran, Uppercase was a US based subscription box built around young adult fiction. Each shipment centered on a newly released hardcover YA novel, usually accompanied by a few book themed extras chosen to match the title or a broader reading theme. The service was known for an online companion it called the Reading Experience, which unlocked bonus content tied to specific points in the book so readers could follow along without spoilers. Signed copies or signed bookplates were also often part of its appeal. In a crowded field of YA boxes, Uppercase aimed at readers who wanted one new release each cycle rather than a large bundle of merchandise. Because the company has shut down, there is no way to subscribe, and anyone who comes across old signup links or third party listings should treat them with caution. Past boxes may still turn up on resale sites, but we cannot vouch for their condition or completeness. Readers looking for a similar experience today should look at YA book boxes that are currently operating and confirm their status before paying.
