There is a particular kind of person who notices paper. You are the one who turns a card over to see who made it, who has opinions about nib flexibility, who has been known to buy a pen because of the way it felt in your hand at a stationery counter. You are also, most likely, the person your friends text when they need to know what to write in a sympathy card or which pen will not bleed through their journal.
If that sounds like you, we have something to ask.
What the program is
The Simply Lettered affiliate program is a way for the people who already love our products to share them and earn a little something back. You get a personal link. When someone shops through it, you earn a commission on the sale. That is the whole shape of it.
No inventory to keep. No minimum orders. No pressure to post on a schedule that does not fit your life. You share what you actually use and actually love, and you get paid when your people shop.
What you get
Commission on every sale through your link. Straightforward, tracked, and paid out on a regular schedule.
Early access to new products. You will know what is coming before the shop announces it, so you always have something fresh to talk about.
Assets that make sharing easy. Product photos, graphics, and copy you can use as is or make your own. We would rather you spend your time writing letters than fussing with a caption.
A community of letter writers. Our affiliates are calligraphers, teachers, snail mail penpals, and hobbyists who found their way here the same way you did. It is a good group to be in.
Who we are looking for
We are not looking for a certain follower count. Some of our best affiliates have small, devoted audiences who trust every single thing they recommend.
What we do look for is a real connection to what we make. If you teach calligraphy, run a penpal club, write a stationery newsletter, or simply talk about handwriting to anyone who will listen, you are the kind of person we want carrying our name into the world.
You should be someone who would recommend Simply Lettered whether or not there was a commission attached. The commission is the thank you, not the reason.
Why handwriting is worth sharing
Here is the part we do not say often enough. Every time you tell someone about a good pen or a beautiful sheet of paper, you are making it a little more likely that a letter gets written. That letter goes in a mailbox. Someone opens it and holds something a real person made with their hands.
That is not a small thing. Most of what we send each other now disappears the second it is read. A handwritten note stays. People keep them in drawers for decades.
So when we say we want you sharing our products, what we really mean is that we want more letters in the world, and we cannot get there alone.
How to apply
The application takes about two minutes. We will ask for your name, your email, your social handles, and a few sentences on why you would like to promote our products.
Our team reviews every application personally. You will hear back within 5 to 7 business days either way.
