A Letter Revival






Image from TheRumpus.net













Almost everywhere we turn, there are influences doing their best to persuade us to switch from regular mail to other digital means. That’s why when an opportunity comes around to receive a physical letter in the mail from an accomplished author, it’s hard to pass up. This is the idea behind the new program “Letters in the Mail.”


The service, provided by TheRumpus.net, is charging $5 per month to receive a weekly letter from an author. Each letter received will be from a different author and it may or may not include a return address to send back a reply. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with someone who knows the value that a simple, but powerful letter in the mail can have on a reader. To take a peek at the service and what it has to offer, click here.

I don't know if she is still alive, but Harper Lee wrote my favorite novel "To Kill A Mockingbird", and I imagine she would be a delightful, and astute correspondent.
