Bring back the joy of mail
Inbox the Mailbox
Will today be the day? You quickly search the stack of envelopes. It is. You see it! Your pen pal wrote back. A letter written just for you. Mail should be more than bills and ads you'll never read. This year, make checking the mail fun again.
Receive your welcome package
Within 10 business days, receive a welcome letter, a blank envelope, and a larger prepaid envelope addressed to Penmanship.
Write your introduction letter to your new pen pal!
Use your own envelope or the blank one included for your convenience. Then send your letter in the larger prepaid envelope back to us ASAP!
Get matched!
We'll match you with a pen pal who returned their first envelope at the same time as you, and send you their introductory letter in a new package.
Every Shipment Includes:
a letter from your pen pal
a blank envelope
a larger prepaid envelope
small surprises
Return your prepaid envelope with a response to your pen pal ASAP — they're waiting!
Penmanship will ship your response as soon as it's processed.
Pen Names Welcome Here
Discover the fun of a pen pal safely. Talk about anything and everything. Send letters, send post cards, stickers, bookmarks...but you'll never send them identifying information unless you personally include it in your envelope to them, inside ours.
Frequently asked questions
What if my pen pal cancels their membership?
No problem! We'll let you know they are no longer a member and send you an introductory package so we can match you with a new pal.
What if my pen pal makes me uncomfortable?
Let us know — safety is our first priority. We will reassign you and open a case with your previous pal. We reserve the right to revoke any membership at our discretion.
When will I get my first package?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
