Molly Suber Thorpe

Molly Suber Thorpe is a hand lettering artist whose focus is on branding and editorial calligraphy. She has worked with brands including Google Arts & Culture, Michael Kors, Martha Stewart, and Fendi. Molly is the author of three books about calligraphy. Her first, Modern Calligraphy: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started in Script Calligraphy (St. Martin’s Press, 2013), is a beginner’s guide covering the basics of pointed pen calligraphy. The second, The Calligrapher's Business Handbook (2017), is a guide for crafting a thriving freelance career out of hand lettering. Her newest book, Mastering Modern Calligraphy (St. Martin’s Griffin, October 2019) picks up where her first leaves off. It is an in-depth guide to modern calligraphy, and the perfect companion for pointed pen and digital calligraphers alike. She also teaches Skillshare classes and in-person workshops around the globe. In 2016, Molly launched Calligrafile.com, a curated database of resources and products for calligraphers, hand lettering artists, type enthusiasts, and creative freelancers.
