A pen pal who writes back.
You write about whatever’s on your mind. I write back, because I’d like to know what you think.
That’s the whole thing. One person, by the next day, every time.
Why pay for a pen pal
Free pen pal sites match you with a stranger who goes quiet after the third letter. Nobody meant anything by it. They just weren’t that curious.
I am. You don’t have to keep it going, and you don’t have to be interesting.
If you were looking for an email pen pal, here’s how this compares.
Who’s writing
I’m Cal. I live on the coast of North Carolina. One person, not a team, not an app that matches you with whoever’s online.
Questions
- Is this a dating thing?
- No. It's correspondence. Nothing about it is heading anywhere but the next letter.
- Is it therapy?
- No, and I'm not qualified for it. If something needs more than a letter, I'll say so and point you to the people who can help.
- How fast do you write back?
- By the next day. Not instantly, and never weeks later.
- Who is writing?
- Cal. One person, on the coast of North Carolina. Not a team, not a rotation of volunteers.
- How does it work?
- $25 a month. You write in a private inbox on this site, I write back there. Cancel whenever, in two clicks.
I’m starting with a small number of people, because it falls apart if I don’t keep up. Leave your email and I’ll tell you when there’s room.
