Let's be friends on paper.

I'm looking for penpals, especially writers or artists interested in exchanging creative work and encouragement. I'd also like to exchange letters with people interested in some of the following topics:

art knitting bookbinding writing indie web religion & spirituality self-actualization & personal growth literature history tarot etymology zines self-publishing stationery relationships weight lifting psychology social justice labor unions cats Steven Universe queer shit

If I don't already know you, I may want to vet you in some sort of way before giving out my mailing address. That could mean having an email exchange or a video call.

Delayed or infrequent correspondence is OK. I'm looking for letters with depth, which can take a while.

If you're interested, email emilynhoward at proton dot me.
