When people find out snail mail is “still a thing”, one of the top questions I get asked is “Who can I write to?”. I have another article on how you can find penpals, but I wanted to make an easy-to-go-to list for you as well! If you have any other ideas, I’d love to hear them in the comments! Pretty much anyone will welcome mail that’s not a bill or an advertisement these days; brighten someone’s day with a missive in their mailbox.

More Love Letters (moreloveletters.com) is one of my FAVORITE places to send letters! Whether I’m feeling down and need an extra push or just feel like spreading some light into the world, there are always people here who need a good ‘ol fashioned handwritten hug (as I like to call them)! 🙂 <3
That’s such a good site. I’m so glad you utilize that often!!
I sent a pocket letter to you months ago, and have never received anything back.
Hi Anne! I’m so sorry it’s taking me so long to respond. Unfortunately my turn around rate is realistically months right now. 🙁 This summer I wasn’t able to work on mail at all because I was being treated for my newly diagnosed Bipolar Disorder and this Fall has been me catching up with business. I have a huge crate full of letters to respond to and I plan on responding to every single one. I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me, and I promise I will write to you and I’m not ignoring you on purpose. <3
Hey there, it’s me again. I’ve just discovered your website very recently and my mail to you was mainly a huge “Thank You!” for everything you’ve already done. Lettersets.com was going down and that got me interested in doing another online search. I found this website and a lot of key leads to the greatest mail options I never knew. I am letting the better people I found in the less friendly areas online know about your site. It’s helping a ton!
So don’t feel bad being behind! You did a lot of work in the last few years that we are still looking through to get the best support systems up and running for ourselves. Bless you for all you have already done and are still doing. We’re finding our people finally. That’s what it’s all about. <3
(Okay, getting misty here. Hee hee)
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my site and the resources! Mail is such a wonderful community. I’m glad the past years of work are paying off in my absence. Thank you for saying that, I needed to hear it.
