Pen Pals

I'm doing a trial run for an international pen pal service. I'm planning on having it be donation based, because I want everyone to be able to participate.


The idea is that you send me a self addressed envelope, as usual, and a letter to a stranger. I'll read the first letter, and try my best to pair you off with someone. In your response to the first letter (which would be accompanied with another self-addressed envelope), you decide if you want to share your contact information.

If you have any preferences, such as a favorite country, etc. you can let me know in the email or attach a note, but the majority of my readers are from the United States.

This eliminates some problems that I have seen with pen pal services that I have used in the past:

1) They can be expensive.
2) You can send out letter after letter, and never get a response.
3) I received letters that were clearly scams or horrifyingly creepy, and these people had my address.

Please send me an email if you're interested! I'll accept the first 30 people to show interest.

I hope you're all having a fantastic summer.
