History is documented on a global letter writing day
In 2014, Richard Simpkin founded World Letter Writing Day, which was founded by Richard Simpkin. Simpkin wrote letters to those he considered to be an Australian hero in the late 1990s. He became ecstatic when these legends replied by letter. Simpkin's book, "Australian Legends," was published in 2005. He began writing letters because of his excitement over the letters that made the project possible. Simpkin conducts letter writing workshops in schools and encourages adults to take a break from social media and write a letter to help foster letter writing.
