Frequently asked questions

How does pen pal matching work?

You fill out a short profile covering your interests, preferred writing pace, and format. We use that to match you one-to-one with a compatible pen pal.

Is it free?

Creating a profile and getting matched is free. Any postage or mailing costs for physical letters are up to you and your pen pal to arrange.

Do I have to share my home address?

No. Addresses are only exchanged directly between two matched pen pals once both sides opt in, and it's entirely optional if you'd rather stick to digital notes.
