A while back I wrote a list of 75 questions to ask your pen pal, which a lot of you seemed to find useful, so I have decided to extend that list in this article and bring you 75 more questions to ask your pen pal! These questions could be useful for new snail mail friendships, with pen pals you’ve known a long while, or for written conversation that has become a little stagnant over time. It’s amazing what a few questions can do to freshen up a letter chat.

As a long-term stationery lover, I adore working for The Pen Company. My childhood saw me carrying around a little red briefcase covered in stickers and full of pens, paper and other such goodies; my adulthood sees me doing pretty much exactly the same!
