Your posts, written into a real letter and put in the mail.

1. 01

   You tell us where the mail goes

   One name and one US mailing address. Your mother, your grandfather, the aunt who never got a smartphone.

2. 02

   You fill out the form, whichever way suits you

   Twice a month, one short form. Three ways to fill it in, and you can mix them.

   Paste your posts

   Copy your own posts and captions straight in. We do the writing.

   Or

   Write it yourself

   Type the letter in your own words. We print, seal and mail it.

   Or

   Send bullet points

   Jot down what happened. We expand it into full paragraphs.

   We never connect to your accounts, never ask for a password, and never use anything you did not hand us.

3. 03

   We write the letter

   What you sent gets turned into a letter in your voice, the way you would tell it at the kitchen table. It is a letter, not a printout of your feed. Anything that looks private or sensitive gets flagged back to you before it goes in. If you wrote the letter yourself, we leave your words alone and simply set them on the page.

4. 04

   It goes in the mail

   Printed, folded, sealed with wax and mailed first class on the 1st and the 15th of each month.

• A letter of one to two pages, printed in warm black on heavy ivory paper
• Up to two of your photos, printed on the page with the story they belong to
• An oxblood wax seal on the envelope
• Mailed first class in a lined envelope, US postage included
• Two letters every month, on the 1st and the 15th

Nobody ever felt close to someone by scrolling their feed. A letter you can hold, read twice, and leave out on the table does the job a feed was never any good at. No app for them to download, no account to make, nothing to log into. It shows up in the mailbox like mail used to.

Prices are in US dollars. We currently mail to US addresses only. Payments are processed by Stripe. See our refund and cancellation policy.

Do you need my social media password?

No, and we will never ask for one. You put what you want us to use into a form yourself. We have no access to your accounts at all, and you do not need social media to use this.

Who is the letter about?

You. You subscribe, you send us your own news, and the letter goes to a family member or friend you choose. Subscribing on someone else's behalf is not something we offer yet.

Can I read it before it is mailed?

Yes. Ask for a proof and we will email you the draft before anything is printed.

What if I do not submit anything one month?

We will email you a reminder before each cutoff. If we do not hear from you, we hold that letter and mail it with your next one. You are not billed extra for it.

What if something private slips into a post?

Anything that reads as sensitive gets flagged and sent back to you for a yes or no before it goes in the letter.

What if I do not post much?

Then skip that part. Write the letter yourself and we handle the paper, the printing, the wax seal and the postage. Or send us a few bullet points and we will write it up for you. The posts are one way in, not a requirement.

How long does it take to arrive?

Letters go out on the 1st and the 15th. First class mail inside the US usually arrives within three to five business days after that.

Can I cancel?

Any time, by emailing us. You keep the letters already paid for, and you are not charged again. The full terms are in our cancellation policy.
