Communication was only possible in two ways for hundreds of years. You could either have a conversation with someone, or you could write a letter to get it delivered by courier. Because each letter carried the mark of its author, it was intimate in nature.

A mailed letter could include everything, from subtle scents from your home and perfume to snippets from your garden. Digital media doesn’t have the same personal touch as the old methods, so World Letter Writing Day allows you to recall the magic of hand-written letters.

World Letter Writing Day celebrates the old form of communication, letter writing. World Letter Writing Day is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect and communicate with people you have not spoken to in a while. You can also think before you write. Modern communication forms don’t encourage us to think and reflect before we communicate with others. A letter is a great way to do this.

Richard Simpkin established World Letter Writing Day to honor the joy and excitement that he experienced when a handwritten letter arrived in his mailbox. He developed a love for the handwritten word through a project called “Australian Legends”. He would send letters to anyone he thought was an Australian Legend, with the intention of setting up a photo session and personal interview. It was amazing to receive a letter from a legend with his personal touch. Digital communication is much more collectible than hand-written letters.
