Write Self

The science of letter writing

Why writing things by hand sticks differently than typing, and what that means for letters to yourself.

Write Self prints your letter on heavy paper, seals it in an envelope, and posts it to you on the date you choose — anywhere from six months from now to five years from now. Most people pick one year.

We don't send emails. We don't push notifications. We don't keep your letter on a screen. The only place your letter exists, after you write it, is encrypted in a database — and then, on the morning you chose, in your hand.

Write yours

Five tiers, from a £15 one-off to an £8/month encouragement subscription. Pick the date. Write the letter. We do the rest.
