Lost For Words?
In the beginning – November 2010 – Free Love Letters was doubly inspired; firstly by an intense personal experience that made such outpourings necessary and, secondly, by a realisation that so many people I knew wished they too could express themselves so openly.
My mission, therefore, was not only to pour out my own feelings in a cathartic rush, but to create a treasure trove of freely available love letters for people to copy, paste, amend & send. In other words, a free online source of billets-doux* for those who had the feelings, but rarely the words.

That was then. Now, in the mid-2020s, the Free Love Letters collection has ticked over 700. More than half a million people the world over have accessed (and hopefully used) this lover’s library to find the right words – as I now invite you to.
