FOR THE LOVE OF LETTERS is a much–needed contemporary guide to letter–writing, with tips on how to write all different types of notes: love letters, thank–you letters, apology letters, sympathy letters, goodbye letters, cover letters, break–up letters...even erotic letters. In highly engaging prose, the author addresses her twenty– and thirty–something peers by taking them––via charming anecdotes and real–life examples––through the entire process: why to write a letter, how to start, what to say, when an e–mail is OK and when it's not, and provides eminently useful pointers such as why it's crucial to be specific. All the letters are REAL –– some by the author, some to the author, and some by luminaries like James Joyce, Susan B. Anthony, Edgar Allen Poe, and Abraham Lincoln. Moving stories demonstrate the power of letter–writing and show how it can enhance our relationships. For anyone who has ever trembled at the idea of sitting down and putting pen to paper –– or finger tips to keyboard –– FOR THE LOVE OF LETTERS will leave you well–equipped for the task.
