Cuando te escribo de nuevo?
Missing accent; 'cuando' without accent is a conjunction, not a question word.
¿Cuándo escribo a ti de nuevo?
Redundant preposition; the object pronoun 'te' already replaces 'a ti'.
¿Cuándo te escribo de nuevo
Leaving out the question marks makes the sentence a statement, not a question.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, it’s considered courteous to ask before sending another message, especially if the previous conversation was brief or the person is busy. Using 'de nuevo' sounds friendly and informal; in a more formal setting you might replace it with 'otra vez' or simply omit it: '¿Cuándo le escribo de nuevo?'.
