About the Author

Samara O’Shea entered mortality on September 22, 1979. Since then, she has worked at several magazines and launched the letter-writing service you see before you. She has written two books For the Love of Letters (2007) and Note to Self (2008). In July 2010, she added wedding-vow writing to her services.

Samara’s writing has appeared in Marie Claire, Country Living, The Frisky, Main Line Today, and HappenMag.com. Her website and books have been featured in Woman’s Day, Real Simple, Philadelphia , and DailyCandy.com. The New York Times once caught Samara pensively matching the curtains AND throw pillows at a party and decided to snap a picture.

Samara has appeared on NPR’s The Kojo Nambdi Show and The 10! Show in Philadelphia. She still has the first love letter she ever received, and she diligently drinks two cups of green and/or white tea every day.
