the people behind the paper

OUR STORY


Our roots are deeply planted at a little Salvation Army summer camp in Peppersauce Canyon. We were a bunch of teenagers learning how to be creative and compassionate. More importantly, we were beginning to believe in kinship, that we belong to one another. 

When Labor Day rolled around, we all headed back to our towns and schools with a countdown for when we’d be back together. In the meantime, we wrote letters. 

There is something intimate and vulnerable about handwriting that’s not replicated in any other format. Our letters, then, and our letters now help shape and nurture meaningful connection.

We might be a startup, but we’ve been doing this our whole lives. We’re not just writing letters, we’re telling a generative story. We’re honored to have you join us!
