Question: Typed or handwritten?

[seannelly13]

I have a question. Does it matter if the letter that I send to a celebrity to get them to sign a photo is typed or handwritten? What do most people do? Thank you in advance!

I always handwrite all of my requests because it is more personal. I have not ever typed a letter. I take my time and use my best handwriting.

My handwriting is appauling. I always type letters. For clarity if anything else.

[dfreely]

It doesn't really matter, but I handwrite mine as well.

I used to type them, but then I saw most people here pooh-poohed typing, so I switched to handwriting. If your letter is sincere and clearly not a form letter, I don't think it matters. I think I got back just as many successes from typed letters as I have handwritten ones.

I always type mine. My handwriting isn't that great and they probably wouldn't be able to read it

[ScottishDan]

I always hadwrite my letters. I feel it's much more personal although it takes a lot longer than typing!

Thank you all so much! I think I will do half and half. Type to the ones I just want an autograph from, but then actually handwrite to the actors I actually follow and love.

You might find it beneficial to make extra sure that the typed ones you send requesting an autograph do not sound like form letters with little more than the celeb's name inserted. I'm just mentioning that because it has happened with some of my earlier ones and I hardly got any responses from that one batch.
