THE PENPALS EXPERIENCE

How matching works

Real people. Real letters. Real connections.

  1. Create your profile

    —

    Tell us your interests, hobbies, and what you're looking for in a penpal.

  2. See your matches

    —

    We rank people by how well they fit your preferences. You choose who to write to.

  3. Write in your letter room

    —

    Take your time — long letters, written online. Want one on paper? We'll print and mail it from $4.99.

  4. They write back

    —

    A letter lands in your inbox, not your mailbox. Read it, sit with it, reply when you're ready.

LETTERS BY POST

Put it in their mailbox

    we print your letter and post it to your penpal.
