Concept · not yet running

One day. Letters everywhere.

Each season, members who choose to take part are paired at random and write to each other. Every letter arrives on the same morning, with a special Post Day stamp.

How it will work

Four steps, one shared morning.

01

Join in

Opt in before sign-ups close. It’s free.

02

Get your match

You’re paired at random. Your pen pal is somewhere in the world; who and where stays a surprise.

03

Write within a week

Everyone writes during the same seven days, in their own time zone.

04

Post Day morning

Every letter arrives together, around 8 am in your own time zone. Open it to see who wrote, their stamp, and how far it travelled.

EVERYONE

Digital Post Day

  • A random match from members who join
  • Anonymous until Post Day morning, with the usual block and report
  • Your letter arrives with the Post Day stamp

LATER · A PILOT IN AOTEAROA

Paper Post Day

A real letter, posted from your local post office. To keep home addresses private, paper Post Day will use PO boxes only, shared only with your match and deleted afterwards.

Post Day is a concept and isn’t running. There are no dates yet, and no sign-ups or PO boxes are collected on this site. Details will be announced after PennaPal opens.

Someone might be glad you wrote.

PennaPal isn’t open yet. Join the waitlist and we’ll write to you when it is. Founding writers can help shape it first.

One email when we open. No newsletters unless you ask. Unsubscribe any time.
