Love Letters 411 is a public archive of letters written by real people. This page explains how submissions are reviewed, what we will and will not edit, and what we ask of you when you send us a letter.
What we publish
We publish love letters in the writer’s own voice. Submissions can be addressed to a partner, a husband or wife, a long-distance love, a former love, a person who has died, or someone you cannot tell in person. We do not publish letters that target a named third party with insult or threat.
How we edit
We do not rewrite letters. We fix obvious typos and only obvious typos. We do not change punctuation, paragraph breaks, contractions, or word choices, even when they would read more cleanly. The writer’s voice is the letter.
Bylines and anonymity
Letters publish under the first name and optional location the writer chose at submission. You can ask to publish anonymously and we will honour it. If you want a published letter removed later, email us and we will take it down within seven days.
Sources of editorial content
Where we write editorial pieces (category intros, how-to guides, hub posts), we cite where any quoted lines come from. Letter examples shown inside hub posts are always our own readers’ published letters, linked back to the source post and credited to the writer.
Corrections
If you spot a factual error, a misattributed byline, or a piece of editorial that does not match these standards, write to us via the Contact page and we will review within seven days.
What we do not do
- We do not invent letters and present them as real submissions.
- We do not use AI to rewrite reader letters.
- We do not sell submitted letters to third parties.
- We do not include a writer’s contact details on the public page.
The team
The site is curated by the Love Letters 411 Editorial Team. We are a small team that reads every submission. The site is published by Marketing the Change, an Australia-based web and SEO agency.
