Are my letters too curt?

[Paigey012]

I would make it a bit longer

Say why you like them and how you became a fan.

I think you need to go into a bit more detail on why you like them, my letters are never shorter than an a4 page.

They're good, but for a rough draft.

I recommend making them a little bit longer.

They're not terrible though.

When I first started sending out letters, that's how mine were.

I think it's how every newbie makes them.

I think it's how every newbie makes them.

Yeah, a newbie's pretty much what I am LOL.

Thank you for your help, everyone!

It's not about being short or long, it's about making the letter personal. Wouldn't you rather have someone read your letter and feel a personal connection, or have them really like the letter for a particular reason as opposed to thinking you copied a template from the internet..?

Hiya Lauren,

You could perhaps try writing without using a template. Whilst everyone develops their own personal writing style, each letter could still be individual and different! When you write your letters to those stars you really really admire, try to think what exactly it is that is so amazing/great/and fantastic about them, - Perhaps if it helps you could make a list and jot some notes down before starting - and try to put this across in your letter!

Best of luck to you,

Phoebe

hi, i think ur letters are fine just a bit longer would be good!

[stellar_fuse]

This topic has made me think. If it is the case that my letter is too short - how am I supposed to make it stand out? What do I like that other people don't? And why would they want to read about me?

A few of my recent letters have been a bit longer/detailed, though. Hope I still get responses.

This topic is interesting; it's like, I want my letter to stand out, and I want the celeb not to think of it as like " :neutral: huh, another letter," but I don't want to take up and waste so much of their time either because it's so long!

BTW Lauren: O/T, but I love your Beatles avatar!

I agree with Rachel, you want the celeb to know who you are and that you are a genuine fan. Give a personal experience on how you first saw the celeb and why you enjoy their work. I personally don't use a template, I just write each letter as it own. I write the letter as if I was talking to them directly.
