NEWS 01.05.12. Sugar's collection is now up. You can read her letter from the editor here. Sugar is a pseudonym of the author of the "Dear Sugar" advice column on The Rumpus. She also writes fiction and memoir under her actual name. We are initiating a new design with this collection, where each letter will have a unique, linkable page. Thank you for your patience as we convert previous collections to this new format.


SUBMIT You can submit a letter you've sent or received, or a letter you'd like to send but can't. The love can be a fantasy love, unrequited love, impossible love, naive love, hopeful love, frustrated love, obsessed love, new love, old love or lost love. Click here to submit.


ANONYMITY theirs:  Replace names and nicknames with underlined spaces, and remove identifying characteristics, such as places and dates, or they will be removed for you. yours:  The submission form on this site is anonymous. All letters are posted anonymously, regardless of how they are submitted. Identities won't be disclosed, even if they are revealed.


SELECTION Due to an increase in the number of submissions, we will no longer be accepting all letters. The editor will select a group of letters to be published on the main collection page, and a group of runner-up letters will be published a second page. We estimate posting about 60% of current submissions. The editor will title your letter, excerpted from the content. Paragraphs may be split up for readability.
