Letter Length ?

I wrote out a letter and it's a front and back of a piece of paper. :| I don't want it to seem too long, but I want to make sure it isn't too short either. My hand writing is right in the middle between big and small, but I could probably write smaller if needed.

Anyone have an idea of a good length to write?

Hello there!!!

I usually write about 1 page without skipping lines in my letters when i send out a request. As long as it isn't PAGES and pages long, it's okay. You have to keep in mind that the celebrity gets 100's of requests. I would say that a page letter would be good enough but what you have is fine as well!!! The celebrity you are writting too will really appreciate your letter!!!

Hope that helps!!

I am right there with Crissy... my letters are usually right at a page long, and usually broken up into 3 paragraphs. The 1st part of my letter is just briefly telling them how big of a fan I am of them and might tell them what they've been in that I really enjoyed (like a favorite show or movie). The 2nd paragraph is when I will ask them to sign what I have enclosed or ask for their autograph if I didn't send them anything to have signed. The 3rd paragraph is just a short sentence or 2 telling them that I appreciate their time and consideration regarding my request and that even if they are unable to accomodate my request, they will have a fan for life. I close it with thanks for the memories past, present and most certainly future but of course there will always be exceptions to that part depending on who I am writing too! I have had a ton of success using this method but it took some fine tuning before I got really comfortable with what I was sending out. You'll get your niche and be getting those awesome 9x12 envelopes in your mailbox before you know it! Best of luck to you!

i usually do a page. I make sure that its not longer or shorter then that... even though it gets really hard. :) Unless you are writing BACK to a celeb, like they wrote you, and asked u to write back. You can write a little longer since they requested you to write back. :)
