Dear Reader,
Thank you for your interest in "From Me To You," my year-long letter-writing activity. I am really looking forward to mailing you paper.
With your subscription, you can expect to receive 10 letters throughout the course of the year. They will not be sent on a set schedule as your author is continuing to investigate new relationships with time. These letters will be copies of a single message rather than a personalized pen-pal situation. Letters will be mailed through the mail* and may take a range of forms, not all of which will necessarily look like "letters." I write in many voices, including this one. Please take care that this is acceptable to you before subscribing.
Subscriptions are $36. That covers stamps, envelopes, paper, writing snacks, and a bit of time**. Mid-year subscribers will receive back-issue letters to make a complete set. I regret that pro-rating is not available, nor are subscriptions refundable -- think of this as the yard sale of newsletters where all purchases are As Is, Final Sale. I hope to enlist one dozen subscribers but will happily welcome up to more than that.
I am (in case, by some miracle, you got here without knowing me personally) Jersey City-based artist of many interests Katelyn Halpern. My website is
katelynhalpern.com, my IG is instagram.com/katelynhalperndotcom, and I run
smushgallery.com. This is the second installment of "From Me To You" - I wrote throughout the year in 2021 and enjoyed it very much. Thank you to all of you repeat subscribers! What am I going to write about this year? Let's find out.***
Thank you and I'm glad you're here,
Katelyn

**This rate is the sugar crust on top of a big conversation about art, work, worth, money, compensation, etc. While trades are possible, cash keeps the wifi on.
