Write a letter to a stranger who needs one.

Write a Letter to Me. is built by people who sit down at kitchen tables and write — slowly, on paper, to someone they'll come to know one envelope at a time. If you have an hour a month, a fountain pen or a ballpoint, and something to say — we want to know you.

Tell us about yourself.

We read every application by hand. The most honest ones tend to be the most welcome — there's no formula.

i.

About you

Just enough that we can write back to you.

iii.

Your age range

We match across generations — most writers are 30+, most readers are under 30. Both ends matter.

Languages you can write in

List the ones you'd be comfortable writing a full letter in. We pair writers and readers by language.

Other languages (comma-separated)
v.

What you'd write toward

Pick 3 to 8 — the things you'd happily write a 200-word letter about, on a Sunday morning.

vi.

Your time

How many letters could you commit to a month? Even one is welcome — we'd rather you write one well than three rushed.

By applying you agree to our writers' handbook. We read every application by hand. Expect to hear within two weeks.
