Extra! Extra: The Modern Letter Project is Going on Hiatus

Dear Letter-writers and potential letter-writers,

The Modern Letter Project is on an indefinite hiatus. We've decided to take some time off so we can take a breather, and perhaps rebuild the project in ways we've long been wanting to.

What will happen to my address?
We'll have cleaned out our entire database of addresses but will hold onto your emails so we can notify you when we are ready to relaunch.

How and when can I rejoin?
When the project reopens, we will let you know via email and also announce the reopening via the project website. At that point, everyone will need to rejoin the project if you want to continue participating.

What next?
Sit tight! And please do not send us your address until the project is up and running again.

The two of us can't thank all of you who have participated up to this point enough for being part of this project. We know some of you have written and received dozens of letters, others of you only a handful – and always with good ones and disappointing ones mixed into the bag. If anything, we've learned immense amounts about what it is to be a letter-writer amidst extremely busy lives, hope you've met made interesting connections along the way, and hope you'll keep with us as we take a step forward to the next version of this project.

All best,
Corie and Youngna
