Persuasive Letter Writing

by Ailsa Wild

Description

Let me share my love of letter writing with you. We’ll look at letters and why people write them (including some classics of mine from the 90’s and a pitch I wrote to my publisher). We’ll look at historical letters that have changed the world and how they did it. Then we’ll have a practice at telling a personal story of our own to change someone’s mind.

Topics covered:


  • Format of a letter
  • Persuasive writing
  • Connecting the personal with the persuasive
