Famous Writers Sending You Letters

The last time you got a personal letter in the mail...
We’ll give you a moment to think about that one.
Minute’s up.
Yeah, it’s time to bring that back.
Introducing
Letters in the Mail, a subscription service where you’ll receive heartfelt
correspondence from people you’ve never met—people who’ve mastered the written word—taking new
subscribers now.
You may have heard of Dave Eggers. He’s been a part of some pretty classic works of literature over the
last decade. He’s also had a big hand in McSweeney’s,
Lucky Peach (with David Chang from
Momofuku) and Grantland. So yeah, you’re definitely familiar with the guy’s oeuvre. Well, the point here
is that he’s got a lot to say, and he’d like to say it to you in letter form. That’s what this is all
about. Getting letters from writers of note.
It’s not just Eggers either. Just about every week, you’re going to be privy to the scattered musings of
the current kings and queens of letters. We’re talking about Jonathan Ames (who you might know as the
creator of
Bored to Death), Tao Lin (known for creating avant-garde literature out of shoplifting)
and a slew of other scribes.
And yes, you can send letters back.
It’s not like they’re busy or anything.
