App Video Tutorial

2.) Choose Format
It's time for you to choose how you would like your letter to be formatted.
Personal Letter Format
Option 1: Personal letter format is for a more formal settings like a job interview, sending a letter to a judge, subscription letter cancellation.
Or even a formal template to send to friends this would be the option to choose of the two.With this format chosen we will structure a letter to cater to the style type that's shown bellow.
Main difference being return address being displayed so if that is of importance to you be sure to choose the formal template.
In this format you'll find these fields to fill in to write your letter online.
TIP:
Depending upon how you want your letter sent you can use your Enter key on your device to space out your paragraphs or statements you type to be written or printed based off of your preference.
Open Letter Format
Option 2: Open letter format is my favorite, this one is more free versed styled writing no real formal structure to it
This format is if you are just sending a letter to a friend or reaching out to anyone but it isn't that serious in which a template would be needed. When writing a letter online or in general it definitely varies.
Disclaimer: For both letter writing formats be sure to write your letter exactly the way it will be printed or handwritten because we do not edit your letters.

STEP 3
*Real artwork is what sets Text A Letter a part from the rest.*
On both letter formats you will see a camera at the top right corner of the screen.
When this icon is pressed you'll be prompted to either upload your own photo to be hand drawn (By a real artist)
You can also take a live photo like Mel's mom does here:
After you take your photo or chose a photo from your photo gallery its time to decide where you want your image drawn.
You can choose to have your photo hand drawn on a variety of positions on your envelope or paper.
The upload happens after a position is chosen upload GIF after the load is done you can now choose how you want your stationery to look.
Examples:
Baby Hand Drawn on Envelope
Lucky Four Leaf Clover on Paper
Facial Profile Drawn on 12 x 12 Velcro Envelope
About The Art:
We have a team of really talented artist that will make your photo into an ABSOLUTE masterpiece.
Know that having a photo uploaded into the app and taking it to the check out is supporting Real Artists not computer generated artwork. We could easily just print out your photos on your stationary options but REAL LETTERS deserve REAL ARTWORK.
In a world where everything is going to computer automation, paying humans for real artwork is what we stand by.
4.) NOW ITS TIME TO BUILD IT
There's a whole bunch of cool combinations you can come up with for a truly unique letter.
