2019 New Year Pen Friend Exchange --- Sign Ups Have Closed

This exchange has closed. Please visit the link above to sign up for the Spring Pen Friend exchange---coming in March 2019.

Happy 2019!! 

Hope you're all enjoying a happy holiday season! A new year is coming and with it, a chance for new beginnings, new goals, and new friendships. If you enjoy handwritten correspondence with like-minded women, The Victorian Letter Writers Guild may be for you. Follow the instructions below to be matched up with a pen friend and start the new year right!

 Here's what you need to know: 

*While we are very happy to fellowship with all humankind on this site, this particular exchange is for ladies only. If someone would like to organize a mixed-gender exchange, please do so and let me know so I can give you a shout-out here! 

*This is an international exchange but introductory letters must be written in English, unless you and your partner decide otherwise in a private email. 

*A minimum of one letter to your partner is required. If you decide to continue the correspondence after that, wonderful! 

*I am not responsible for "flakers", but anyone who does not keep their commitment will not be included in further exchanges. 

*Sign ups close January 18, 2019; assignment emails will be sent the following week.

*Privacy Statement: Your information will only be given to your assigned pen friend. I will not share it with third parties or publish it in any form. There is no fee to join the Guild---it's strictly for fun and fellowship. I will add your email to a list for my own purposes and will only send emails regarding the pen friend exchange or other Guild activities I think you might be interested in, such as giveaways or letter writing challenges. I will not add you to my blog subscription list but there is a link on the sidebar to do so if you wish. 

*Are you ready for a new pen friend? Copy and paste the answers to the following questions in an email and send it to: sarah@classicalhomemaking.com. {PLEASE do not send this in a separate document. Copy and paste in an email is much easier for me to search!}
