Holmes & Watson in Silver Blaze

Free for all Sherlockians: get notified by email when we schedule an event, publish a new book or an issue of the Baker Street Journal, or have other news.

We expect to send about 12 messages per year, so you won’t be getting a lot of email but you will be kept updated on news from the BSI.

Important: Due to laws against spam, sign-up is a two-step process. First you submit your email address. Then we send you an email with an activation link that you must click to start receiving “News from the BSI” messages.

After you submit your email address, look for the activation message in your email inbox.

When signing up, Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge should work, but avoid using Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) or earlier.

To sign up, click this link to the News from the BSI sign-up page from Mailchimp.

Why didn’t I get an activation email?
After you submit your email address, you should receive an activation email within a few minutes that has a link to confirm and activate your email subscription. If you don’t see that email, check your Spam or Junk mail folders (in Gmail, also check the Promotions, Social, Updates, and Forums folders/labels). If you still can’t find it, try signing up again (in case you mistyped your email address). After trying a second signup, if you still didn’t get an activation email, please contact us.

Why do messages get put into my Spam/Junk folder?
To help improve email delivery, consider adding (news@bakerstreetirregulars.com) to your Address Book or Contacts list. If you ever find one of our messages in your Spam/Junk folder, please mark it “Not Spam” so that you (and others) will be more likely to get future messages directly into your Inbox.

How do I know if I’m already signed-up for News from the BSI?
Just submit your email address again via our sign-up page from Mailchimp. It will either show you an error message and report that you’ve already subscribed, or will tell you to check your Inbox for the activation email.

If I change my mind, can I unsubscribe?
Yes, each email includes a link that lets you immediately unsubscribe.

How do I re-subscribe?
Just submit your email address again via our sign-up page from Mailchimp. You’ll get a new activation email with a link that you’ll need to click.

What is Mailchimp?
We use Mailchimp to manage signups and to send News from the BSI.
