Hi, I'm Elizabeth Cottrell
I’m a writer, encourager, and connector passionate about helping others discover the power of meaningful connections. With years of experience and a deep commitment to living a Heartspoken life, I'm here to show you how strengthening those connections will lead to purpose and fulfillment.
I really wrote the book!
on how to write notes that: connect, comfort,
encourage, and inspire
“This is far more than just another book on the proper way to write a note or letter. It will teach you to find your own ‘voice’ so you’ll know—deep in your soul—exactly the right thing to say at the right time.” ~ JASON F. WRIGHT, New York Times bestselling author
“The Art of the Heartspoken Note” is our private Facebook group. We'd love to see you there!

What people are saying about Elizabeth
“A work of heart”
Heartspoken is a work of art—and a work of heart…your words are packed with wisdom and inspiration.
“This book is a gift”
This book is a gift. It’s a gift that Elizabeth Cottrell has given to all who read it. It is a gift that you will feel compelled to share with others. As a business etiquette expert, I have been teaching people the value of writing notes as a tool for growing their business and building relationships. Elizabeth has created one of the most valuable books you’ll ever own and will refer to over and over for years to come.
“familiar and welcoming”
Thanks so much for sharing your book with me. From the first page, it felt familiar and welcoming…that’s a great talent! Halfway through, I put it down, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a note to a good friend, just to thank him for his friendship. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better friend! And congratulations on a wonderful book.
