E-Course on "How to Write a Beautiful Letter" Launches in Time for Mother's Day

    TORRINGTON, CT, March 28, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The desire to help others find just the right words for life's milestone moments was the motivation for a Connecticut resident's writing venture when, in early 2015, Melanie McMillan launched a personal letter writing service, Beautiful Letters, at http://www.Beautiful-Letters.com. The professional writer started the side project after finding solace from the cards and letters of sympathy she received following the unexpected death of her father.

Now she has launched an e-Course to complement Beautiful Letters. The course, "How to Write a Beautiful Letter" teaches enrollees the basics for creating a lifetime of heartfelt, personal letters.

In spite of society's reliance on email, texting and social media, McMillan's formal research reveals that two-thirds of U.S. adults, ages 18 and older, prefer to receive messages from family and friends on paper. According to the research, they feel "more deeply connected" to someone who sends them a letter on real paper that they can touch and physically hold in their hands.

Printed on handmade paper and embellished with wax seals and ribbons, the letters have Old World charm. There is also the option to scent them - a practice introduced in the Victorian era that is covered in the e-Course.

McMillan is passionate about the opportunity to empower others to write letters. The self-paced online course can be accessed through the website http://www.Beautiful-Letters.com, or directly at http://tinyurl.com/lc6qsqo. It sells for $11.99, about the price of two premium greeting cards. It typically takes about an hour to complete.

"Even if you think you're not a writer, you will learn the basics for creating a lifetime of beautiful letters that will bring light and love to the people in your life," McMillan said. "And the more letters you write, the better at it you will become," she added.

Melanie McMillan at http://www.MelanieMcMillan.com is an award-winning public relations professional with her own consultancy that serves international clients.
