-
The Women of Letters series are collections of letters from the events of the same name. They celebrate the lost art of letter writing and invite special guests to read aloud letters on a theme while raising funds for Edgar’s Mission. The covers always feature the iconic WoL logo (silhouetted woman by Tara Nielsen) and are a pleasure to work on. They all use simple, sweet illustrations related to letter writing, and soft, friendly colour palettes to showcase the list of names of contributors and to create appealing packages suitable for gift-giving. The illustrations are echoed throughout the text setting.
