Our team loves hearing from middle and high schools students interested in fountain pens! Most of us at Gouletpens.com didn’t know about fountain pens when we were in school, but we sure wish we had. There are tons of advantages to using a fountain pen. They’re fun, economical, and they keep your hand from cramping while writing!
