Erica Di Bona wrote A Letter Is Better because she believes something essential has been lost in a world of emails, texts, and instant messages: the power of thoughtful, personal connection.

Through her work in the entertainment industry, fundraising, and relationship-building, she saw firsthand how a real letter—typed or handwritten, signed, stamped, and mailed—creates a deeper, more lasting impact than digital communication. Letters are remembered, kept, and felt.

She wrote the book to inspire people to rediscover the joy of writing thank-you notes and appreciation letters, to bring civility and kindness back into everyday interactions, and to remind us that you don’t have to be a “writer” to write something meaningful.

At its heart, A Letter Is Better is her invitation to slow down, find something kind to say, and use the simple act of sending a letter to strengthen relationships and change lives—one envelope at a time. 💌
