Meg may have thought no one would spot it, but she hadn’t counted on sharp-eyed, pattern-obsessed Reid.Ī year later, Reid has tracked Meg down to find out how she knew that his meticulously planned future was about to implode.

Knowing the upcoming marriage of Reid Sutherland and his polished fiancée was doomed to fail is one thing, but weaving a secret word of warning into their wedding program is another. She has another skill too: reading signs that other people miss. Meg Mackworth’s hand-lettering skill has made her famous as the Planner of Park Slope, designing custom journals for her New York City clientele. Here’s a bit about the book: In this warm and witty romance from acclaimed author Kate Clayborn, one little word puts a woman’s business-and her heart-in jeopardy. I’m a romantic at heart and a sucker for a good love story and Love Lettering is a great one. I loved how Kate’s protagonist, Meg Mackworth, views the world by seeing letters and reading signs. Last winter I kept seeing the book Love Lettering being promoted and decided I had to read it. This book was charming and I’d recommend it to someone looking for a quick and light read.February is a month for romance so of course I wanted to invite author Kate Clayborn to be with us today. This was a sweet book, but not having any knowledge of fonts I had to look up most of what she described. Meg convinces Reid to accompany her through her city walks- her goal is to find inspiration for her work and his is to find something (anything) to like about New York. From that encounter, an unlikely partnership emerges. A year later, Reid shows up in her shop looking for an explanation as to why she put a hidden message in his wedding program.

She had previously done work for weddings, but stopped after she met a couple that she thought was doomed to fail- and included a hidden message in their wedding programs with her prediction. These jobs allow her to live in New York City, so either she has a crazy amount of clients needing monthly planners written/drawn out or she charges a ton per month.

I’m not sure exactly what to call her- calligrapher? Graphic artist? I’ve read the entire book and I am still not sure- but she is high in demand within New York City to hand-write out rich people’s planners. Not just of the protagonists, Meg and Reid, but a love story between a woman and New York City, Meg and her best friend Sibby. Love Lettering, by Kate Clayborn, is a love story.
