"Letters of Intent"

Mail Club

A monthly mail club for word nerds, lexicon lovers, and grammar fiends to help you slow down and battle brain rot.

You can look for some of the following items each month:

A Word-of-the-Month BrainGame Card with word-nerd challenges, vocabulary enrichment exercises, and writing / conversation prompts
A letter, zine, article, or essay (from me!) with a deep-dive into etymology, usage, connotations, and suggestions on how to use the WOTM (and more) to show how smart, cool, concise, or creative you are!
A post card with an original poem and/or artwork (to keep or send)
A monthly surprise bonus to keep you curious about words & captivating to friends

You’ll also receive exclusive invites to "Letters of Intent" Meet-Ups (in person and virtual) so you can build and connect with your slow-lifestyle community.

What to Expect

When to look for your mailing:

Each month’s mailing should be received between the 1st and 5th of the month (depending on USPS)
