How to write a holiday letter that people will love to read (Part 3 of 3) by Laurel Anne Hill

Monday, December 21st, 2009

For thirty years–during good times and bad–I've written Christmas letters that people love to read.  To learn my secrets, visit my podcast and bedroom closet at http://laurelannehill.libsyn.com.  I've now posted my third and final podcast on the subject of writing holiday letters.  In this latest episode (approximately 17-1/2 minutes long), I talk about writing holiday letters during difficult times.  For those of you unfamiliar with podcasts, you don't need an ipod to listen.  All you need is a computer with a speaker.

And I've just had my website redesigned.  The new version goes live soon.  Check it out at http://www.laurelannehill.com.

Warm wishes,

Laurel Anne Hill (Author of "Heroes Arise")

Want to write a holiday letter that your friends and family will love to read?  Having trouble using a story format?  Consider using a "first, the good news" format, or maybe creating a brief and light-hearted play.

This month, I'm podcasting a three-part series about writing holiday letters, available for free on iTunes or by visiting my bedroom closet at http://laurelannehill.libsyn.com.  I've now posted part two, approximately 10-1/2 minutes long.  And yes, I really do set up my "recording studio" in my bedroom closet.

By the way, if you have book lovers ages 9 to 90 on your Christmas list, please consider my award-winning novel, "Heroes Arise," now available in hard cover, trade paperback and as a Kindle e-book.  For more information about "Heroes Arise," visit my website at http://www.laurelannehill.com.

Warm wishes,
