Thinking About Writing Us a Letter?

Give in to the temptation. We love getting mail.

Write Us A Letter!

Humanity, delivered monthly.

In each issue of The Sun you’ll find some of the most radically intimate and socially conscious writing being published today. In an age of media conglomerates, we’re something of an oddity: an ad-free, independent, reader-supported magazine.
