A heartfelt and inspirational anthology to show you’re not alone, September Letters is a guide that offers similarities among strangers and shared stories. Filled with dozens of illuminating letters and notes from celebrities, the September Letters community, and anonymous contributors alike—accompanied by advice from a range of mental health experts—September Letters offers a ripple effect of openness through storytelling and truth.

Brittany Snow first encountered the power of a letter when she was a teenager, and saw her story in someone else’s words. That September, Britt shared her own story, and soon after met a young woman who saw her story in Britt’s. Britt knew this wasn’t a fluke. Writing a letter, to yourself, to a loved one, to no one in particular, is a powerful tool of self-expression, knowledge, and healing. Together with her best friend, Jaspre Guest, Britt started September Letters as an online platform to collect stories and notes from anyone who wishes to contribute. It is the power of sharing our story that creates community, and September Letters is an online community. This book is an extension of that mission, featuring gathered letters, notes, and interviews with mental health experts here for anyone to encounter whenever they might need.

 In September Letters, Brittany Snow and close friend, creative entrepreneur Jaspre Guest, show us how sharing our stories can reveal to us our connected humanity. With an emphasis on letter writing, the book is both a guide and beacon for leaning into the practice of writing and expressing ourselves. The gift is more than what lands on the page; it’s what the act of sharing unlocks. 

 Featuring a collection of original letters and notes from Kid Cudi, Maria Menounos, Hannah Bronfman, Lily Cornell Silver, Maddie Ziegler, and many others, alongside interviews with mental health experts like David Kessler, Gretchen Rubin, Mark Epstein, Jay Shetty, and Wendy Suzuki, September Letters aims to open a conversation around what it means to be human. The book is organized by emotional experience, from joy and love to grief and loss. Each chapter showcases the wide range of human expression and experience and features insightful exercises to help readers navigate their inner and outer worlds.

 Equal parts guide and resource, September Letters is for anyone seeking to feel more connected—with themselves and others. Meant to be dog-eared and highlighted, this supportive book makes clear why putting your story into words is profound—whether it’s a long letter you may or may not intend to send, a daily affirmation, or a journal entry. The book comes with photos and illustrations and a symbolic pocket located in the back that can hold pieces of your story.
