This writing program was developed
by experienced teachers Barbara
Getty and Inga Dubay, in response to the difficulty many children encounter
in the transition from the ball and stick printed letterforms to the looped
cursive. The child initially learns the basic italic printed letterforms
followed by the cursive italic through a series of joins, eliminating the need
to learn two distinctly different types of handwriting, as is the case with the
ball and stick printing and looped cursive most often taught in schools.
The main philosophy behind the Getty-DubayTM
Italic Handwriting Series is to teach children and adults a legible
handwriting method that is retained over time. The root of the letterform is
used, nothing more, resulting in a crisp, clear handwriting that is as simple as
it is elegant. View downloadable sample pages from the series.
We believe italic is the best
possible method available to teach legible handwriting to children and adults.
It will retain its practical value as a lifetime communication tool no matter
how it is used. Italic handwriting is distinctive and surprisingly easy to teach
and learn. Once you try it, no other handwriting will compare with its
simplicity, legibility and beauty.

"Write Now"
– A Complete Self-Teaching Program
for Better Handwriting
by Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay
Teach yourself to write legibly and efficiently with an easy-to-write style that’s as distinctive as it is simple.
 After creating the Italic Handwriting Series, it was discovered that many adults wanted a book dedicated to their specific needs, and Write Now A Complete Self-Teaching Program for Better Handwriting was born.
Revised in March 2005, the new
edition, Write Now : The Complete Program for Better Handwriting, is still
completely handwritten, and includes a new supplementary section with a complete
review of basic and cursive italic. A newly illustrated ergonomically efficient
pen hold will help those of you who get hand cramps from holding your writing
instruments too tightly
Illegible handwriting is a nationally recognized problem, which becomes more evident each time we fill out a form that asks us to “Please Print”. Many of us print our handwritten correspondence as a matter of course because we have long ago given up on our ability to write a legible looped cursive. The legibility of italic stems from the complete absence of the loop in all the letterforms. The root of the letterform is used, nothing more, resulting in a crisp, clear handwriting that is as legible as it is simple and elegant. So clear and legible in fact, that Barbara and Inga have just recently given their hundredth handwriting seminar, to physicians and medical professionals. If they can teach doctors how to write legibly, imagine what they can do for the rest of us!
