Lena Dunham confirmed today that Lenny Letter is shutting down after she and her producing partner, Jenni Konner, have split up. 

“When we began plotting Lenny almost four years ago, we were casually referring to this venture as our cool older sister — someone who’s been there, done that, someone who’s learned from her successes and her failures. But this newsletter has grown way beyond that dream. It was our dearest hope that we could create a space where new voices were safe to speak, and speak loudly. But we didn’t create that. You did,” Lena wrote in her last letter alongside Lenny co-founder Jenni Konner and editorial and creative director Molly Elizalde.

“What you have created — a fiercely passionate community of dedicated readers, writers, and artists — is more than we ever could have asked for. Because, of course, Lenny IS you: every politician, every journalist, every activist, every illustrator, every athlete who shared her words here,” she continued. 

She went on to say that “in the three years since we began, the Internet has opened up for underrepresented writers in ways we wouldn’t have predicted or believed from our 2015 bunker. It was an honor to be part of that brigade, and we can’t wait to see how those who forged that path keep holding space after Lenny is gone.”

Lena, Jenni and creative director Molly Elizalde confirmed “there’s no one reason for our closure,” but “this change allows for growth and a shift in perspectives — ours and yours.”

Rest in peace, Lenny Letter.
