Write Back Soon! is available in paperback. It is a collection of great
tips, trivia and an encyclopedia of information about how to write letters,
postcards or notes.
In Write Back Soon, Karen
Benke encourages the reader to “rip the page and leap write in!” She also
includes interesting things such as:
Ø
Send it
in seventeen syllables: write a postcard as an American haiku
Ø
Send a
“to do list”: Write a letter to your grandma, aunt, or best friend and tell
them everything you have to do.
Ø
What you
can send through the mail: An invaluable list of things to send, along with a note
to include with it. (Some suggestions are interesting, such as a potato with a
note “French fries or paper weight?”)
Ø
Sixty-five
opportunities to send more light: How to write encouraging notes for loved ones
or random strangers to brighten their day
Ø
Greetings
and goodbyes: in case you don’t know how to start or end a letter
Ø
Reminders,
suggestions, good luck, advice: in case you need to write a note about any of
these topics
Ø
Kinds of
correspondence, a list of states and abbreviations, and more!
Write Back Soon
is a fantastic guide about writing. It encourages people to stop texting
(or find other ways to communicate in addition to texting). It teaches
everything you need to know, including how to address envelopes. Highly
recommended to teach (or learn) the art of letter writing. Something that is
needed even in this day and age!
