There, I said it. The first step to becoming a better person is identifying the problem.
Dyslexia plus forced righthandedness = really crappy penmanship.
Has anyone here tried improving their penmanship skills as an adult? Is it possible?

I'm wondering if there aren't many books about improving handwriting for adults because, back when people needed good penmanship, they were taught it as children. And, now, when people aren't taught good penmanship, it's not valued, so there aren't many people trying to learn and therefore not much demand for such a book.

When dealing with adults with learning disabilities (I was certified in Wilson method), cursive was considered optional-- printing was considered important since survival materials (signage, newspapers, documents) are printed, not cursive. Cursive is the icing, not the cake-- and we NEVER taught it, it simply wasn't the priority. I don't think that means you should just disregard it, though, since it is something you want to do, but i don't think you should be too irked by it.
