Meet Your Writing Coaches

Anyone who loves writing! The Letterjoy Great Writers series is a perfect gift for aspiring authors, professional journalists, bookworms, and anyone who loves to study the creative process.

We have gift members on six continents, including spouses, bosses, parents, grandparents, children, great grandparents, and more.

We have also seen Letterjoy gifted to people of all professions, from top politicians and captains of industry to local reverends and teachers.

Letterjoy's "Great Writers" series gives you a reason to check your mailbox, something to look forward to every week, and the opportunity to study the craft of writing in a fun & intimate format.

For gift-givers, Letterjoy is a constant reminder that you care. Each time a Letterjoy letter arrives in your recipient's mailbox, they'll think of you.

We hear often stories about gift recipients who call the person who gave them Letterjoy whenever a new letter arrives to discuss it.

For recipients, Letterjoy is an immersive offline escape. Our letters, produced on premium stationery or parchment, are the perfect break from your overwhelming email inbox or social media feed.

Throughout your membership, you'll receive letters exploring a variety of writing-related themes.

You'll learn the story behind best-selling novels like "Jane Eyre" and "Ulysses," iconic characters like Sherlock Holmes, and literary flops by icons of the written word.

Topics your "pen pals" will touch on include character development, plot, dialogue, process, editing, handling criticism, and beating writer's block.

In this series, you'll learn first-hand how legendary authors overcame obstacles to publish enduring best-sellers and create iconic characters.

Read along as they critique other popular works from their era, forge their identities as authors, lay out what they believe to be the keys to great writing.

This collection will inspire you to rush to your writing nook and give you actionable advice to apply to your next novel, short story, poem, or article.

Of course! Treat yourself to letters from the authors of some of your favorite novels. You deserve something fun to look forward to as you check the mail each week.

This series includes twenty-six letters (six months of weekly snail mail) from famous authors of the past.

Every envelope you receive will also include one of our signature "postscript" articles, telling the story of your latest pen pal, their writing process, style, and career.

Each postscript is brimming with details perfect for inspiring an afternoon of writing or helping you plot your next best-seller.

This series includes domestic First-Class postage for every letter.
