Hi there, Letter Writer!

Have you always longed for a penpal to exchange letters with? Are you a seasoned letter writer whose long list of penpals has dwindled as life got busy? Or are you looking to dip your toe into a new hobby and hopefully make a friend? Fill out the form below between now and Sunday, August 10th to receive a hand-picked penpal you’ll hopefully have a thing or two in common with. You’ll get an email with the name and address of your new penpal on or before Saturday, August 16th!

A few important details!

  • First and foremost, please take a minute to do some soul searching. If you do not have time to write a letter on a regular basis (like once a month, say) be honest with yourself and DO NOT sign up. Getting a penpal who never responds is a big disappointment and we are not here to make each other sad!

  • By participating you agree to have your email added to my monthly-ish newsletter. I write about being an artist, new cards I’ve made, and sometimes include a coupon code or recipes for my favorite snacks. It’s a good time, but if you don’t like it, it’s easy to unsubscribe.

  • Penpal matching is currently only available to folks who are over 18. If you are under 18 and you really want a penpal, send me an email at emmakswartz@gmail.com and I will see if I can put you in touch with other letter-writing teens in a different way.
