2025 LetterMo Pen Pal of the Year
We are so thrilled to announce our 2025 LetterMo Pen Pal of the Year: Alleyah! 
Alleyah was nominated by Fonda, who highlighted Alleyah’s incredible dedication and thoughtfulness over their 5-year pen pal journey. From decorating envelopes with cheerful stickers to providing a listening, non-judgmental ear during tough times, Alleyah shows us that letters are more than just paper—they are a lifeline of support and friendship.
Thank you, Fonda, for nominating such a dedicated pen pal! Alleyah will be receiving our new Sticker Sheet, and Fonda will receive a handwritten note of appreciation from the LetterMo team!
The LetterMo team couldn’t be more excited to celebrate the writers who make our community shine! Starting today, December 8th, we’re kicking off the “LetterMo Pen Pal of the Year” contest and giveaway.
The Challenge: Nominate Your LetterMo Pen Pal of the Year!
Do you have a pen pal whose letters always brighten your week? Someone whose dedication, creativity, or sheer consistency deserves recognition? Now is your chance to give them a shout-out.
When you submit your nomination, think about key descriptors of what makes a stellar pen pal, such as:
- Thoughtful: Do they write with deep consideration for you or the subjects they cover?
- Creativity: Do they include unique touches, doodles, or fun items in their mail?
- Encouragement: Do they cheer you on through your writing or personal challenges?
- Dedication: Have they consistently written over time, showing true commitment to the pen pal relationship?
Tell us their story! The more compelling the nomination, the better.

We can’t wait to read your wonderful stories and announce the LetterMo Pen Pal of the Year in January 2026! Happy nominating!
Now, don’t forget to nominate by filling out the form below (only available to logged in users).
The form requires emails in each of the two slots that say to put in my name and my pen pal’s name, so I put in my email address. In the body of the nomination form, I indicated the user name of my pen pal. You might want to fix it, as it may cause others to bow out of nominating their pen pals.
Hi Fonda, thank you for letting us know. We have updated the form with the correct field type.
I’m excited about this giveaway, more so for the opportunity to think about my wonderful penpals! Warmest wishes to all my fellow letter writers!
