"The letters have been fantastic! My grandchildren have loved receiving mail addressed to them. They tell me all about what's happening with the characters, and we wonder aloud about what may come next. Thank you!" -Grandmom in Tennessee
What's coming?
An unforgettable story experience presented by mail. Letters arrive in sequence, each one building on what came before and deepening the winding, inspirational storyline. Each letter is thoughtfully written and happily embellished with humble story-expanding extras.

How often?
You'll receive letters twice each month. For a year!
24 brimming letters will arrive at the mailbox of your choosing, anywhere in the USA.
Why it matters?
We cherish joyful anticipation, sweet connections, impactful stories, and screen-free delights. We know you do too. Giving the gift of a Letterkind series to your favorite reader(s) delivers all these treasures and more.
Twice each month, a plump envelope arrives.
24 letters. One unforgettable year of lively narrative and story-expanding extras for readers young at heart.
Remember the joy of receiving a letter?
A Letterkind series starts with a beautiful letter.
But it becomes an immersive story... stretching outward into fields and forests. Into friendships and turning points. Into moments that surprise, baffle, challenge, and tug at the heart in unexpected ways.
Twisty, ridiculous, endearing. All tucked inside a letter. 24 times. :)
Family-friendly storytelling weaves together fields, folly, friendships, faith. And, so much fun.
Rich, family-friendly storytelling shaped by relational humor, challenges, grit, and grace.
Each series unfolds in a tight-knit community situated in the shadows of a national park, where wildlife, flora, and changing seasons give our characters (and readers) plenty to explore.
While the Letterkind small towns may be "new," the beautiful parklands will be true-to-life.
And gently woven in every narrative is respect and awe for the Lord who holds all things together. As in the real world, so also in our fictional series.

"We are fully invested in the storyline and feel like the characters have become our genuine friends. As a mom, I greatly appreciate how thoughtfully-written and wholesome the letters are. The presentation is charming and makes the story feel live and interactive. My son has even become interested in letter writing!"
-Mom in North Carolina
Something to anticipate.

Meet the Storyteller
I'm Dea Whitaker, the grateful gal behind Letterkind. What a delight to have you stop by today. Thanks for your interest in this wonderful endeavor.
The concept of Letterkind was born from simple affections for good stories, real letters, and beloveds. The goal was creation of something wholesome and lasting - something that could delight a reader, strengthen connections, and remind us that ordinary life is still full of wonder.
It's a great honor to share these paper joys with your home. And, hopefully, your heart. All year long...
See you at the mailbox!
Joyfully,
Dea
