Just Write: The Art of Personal Correspondence

By Molly O'Shaughnessy

Book Overview

When you receive your daily mail do you jump to open the handwritten envelopes first? Handwritten correspondence stands out as more interesting and personal. Writing by hand is something we need to do to connect as human beings, so if you are trying to establish intimacy, it needs to go beyond a screen. Just Write is a beautifully detailed guide to composing the perfect note. Molly O'Shaughnessy offers tips and solutions to creating memorable sentiments for every occasion, from birthdays to anniversaries to business. Just Write is written for the beginning/interested writer who doesn't quite know what to say, but it also appeals to longtime letter writers who are still looking to advance their techniques.

Just Write-Just Perfect

I received this book as a gift then ordered one to give as a gift. Even though I have terrible handwriting, it gave me faith to hand write again. So many wonderful ideas about the written word and how it touches people in so many ways. With all the technology writing is still a beautiful personal way of touching your life as well as others. This book is like the sun warmning your face on a cold winter's day!!

Just Write

What an amazing book! It is full of wonderful advice, witty and inspirational tips on writing the perfect note, and insight into the author's passion for the written word. The graphics are beautifully done throughout the whole book... a feast for the eyes, heart, and soul. The written dedication to Miss O'Shaughnessy's mother is worth the purchase of the book, but Molly carries the reader on an inspirational journey of encouragement to Just Write. I have already bought one copy for myself and six additional copies as gifts.
