Pen and paper like you've never seen it before.

Man or machine?

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Via theatlantic.com

A handwritten page of the classic The Great Gatsby written in Great Girly writing

J.K. Rowling

Her plan for Harry Potter looks kind of like it belongs in an eighth-grade notebook and it's awesome.

Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

Via theatlantic.com

How is this...possible? Someone make a Steinbeck font, pronto.

Ernest Hemingway

Via huffingtonpost.com

He always said he preferred to write drunk--perhaps that explains all the loops.

Vladimir Nabokov

Not sure this shows how he wrote, but it certainly shows how he crossed things out.

Tis a truth universally acknowledged that only Jane Austen can read her handwriting.

Um...what?

Lewis' doodles make your doodles look like child's play.

Last but not least, Walt Whitman. CLASSIC. Oh, Walt. Such penmanship. Aren't those the most beautiful "W"s you've ever seen?
