Advertising with FundsforWriters...

FundsforWriters reaches people with a passion for writing. Let writers know about your product or service through online or newsletter exposure. Since FFW limits its ads to writing-related services, you do not see those get-rich-quick schemes. See what advertisers have to say about listing their services in FFW...

Testimonials . . .
 

I've enjoyed advertising on Hope's site, not just for the work it's brought me, but for the people.  I've met writers from Africa, Europe, East Coast, West Coast, from 18 to 92, all with fascinating stories to tell.  Advertising on this site has enriched me in more ways than I can count. ~Richard Krawiec, Editor, http://www.rkeditor.com/

"I highly recommend advertising in Funds for Writers to anyone who wants to reach an audience of writers. Hope Clark delivers a topnotch newsletter with valuable information, and it's been an excellent vehicle for The Wordy Woman and VIP Authors. Our subscriber list has tripled and our classes are well attended as a result of our advertising in Funds for Writers. Thank you, Hope, for providing this quality service to the writing community."   ~Shelley Lieber, The Wordy Woman, aka CEO, VIP Authors.

Dear Hope: I love your newsletter and I was really happy to see Pacific Book Review listed. I just wanted to tell you about my experience with them. Their CEO is named Nicole and she is simply passionate about reading. She and her group not only read and rate the book but discuss it at morning meetings with other reviewers. As an author, you walk away with a powerful piece of information. Either your book is great or it's not. If not, you receive at least a page of suggestions. They are the best reviewing service I have had experience with. Kirkus was as cold as a cucumber even though they gave my work a great rating, I might have well been working with robots. Pacific Book Review is kind, compassionate and constructive. They are an especially good choice for the writer who has never had their worked critiqued professionally. Regardless of their rating, you are left with a sense of respect and hope. I simply cannot recommend them enough.     ~Best regards, Dr. Reece W. Manley, DD, M.Ed., MPM,  www.SpiritThinking.net 

Pacific Book Review is very pleased with the results of advertising with FFW.  We have been receiving more book review orders since we placed the ad.  We certainly plan to keep advertising with FFW.     ~Nicole Sorkin, Managing Book Review Editor  - www.pacificbookreview.com

Dear Hope - I was delighted with the response to my ad in FFW -- I can't think where it would have done better!! Thanks for all you're doing.     ~Jocelyn W Knowles, Book Doctor, jwknowles@verizon.net

Thank you for helping Carteret Writers publicize their 2009 writing contest. My press release included an e-mail address for writer's guidelines requests, and a sudden increase in incoming mail was obvious. I suspected the incoming blip was tied to Funds for Writers so I immediately checked your latest newsletter. Sure enough, there was my announcement. Within hours after you sent out your e-mail newsletter, the guideline requests started coming in. I sent press releases to a number of online writing sites and newsletters. I can't do a scientific study, but I believe that your newsletter generated more resonse than any of the other online resources. Other response flurries came in later, but no other "radar blips" like yours. I suspect your advertisers may have the same results! Thank you for the support you give other writers, not only through the inspiration and markets in your paid and unpaid newsletters, but with the free announcements that benefit small regional writing groups as well.            ~Janet Hartman, President, Carteret Writers, www.carteretwriters.org

Today I got a message from another Christian fellow writer subscriber to your newsletter. He found out about me thru the ad I placed in FundsforWriters. I knew your newsletter was the right place to place my ad and God is already giving assurance of my right decision. Keep up the good work and thanks for the opportunity of advertising with you.                                               ~Tannia E. Ortiz-Lopes, www.tatepublishing.com, www.myspace.com/tanniaortizlopes

 I just wanted to let you know that I only placed my ad with you last week. You ran it for the first time last week. The very next day I had my first order. Talk about being THRILLED!!!! Thank you for providing a very reasonably priced medium in which someone like me can place an ad without breaking my advertising budget while still reaching the audience I need to. I’m just tickled!!!   ~Brimming with gratitude, Courtney Mroch, www.courtneymroch.com, www.press-scribe.com  

You'll be glad to hear I already got a response from the first ad :) I'm so pleased to see the advertising work so well!                ~Robin Mayhall, Editor, Email: robin@hieran.com

Just wanted to drop a line and say thank you for an ad placed in FFW. I found Ed Easley and Patricia Stively's editing service in the newsletter and was very pleased with the level of service. I have bought books and found an editor through FFW's advertisements, and all of them exceeded my expectations. Thank you for your personal recommendations. I am a FFW "groupie" and will likely continue to check out all you recommend.                                                                                       ~V.J. Cruise, Reformed Yankee Writing, www.reformedyankee.com 

Thank you so much for running our ad in FundsforWriters. We were very excited to see the contest listing as well as experience the traffic to our site increase significantly - surely as a result. Aside from contest entries, we've even received a couple general submissions that have definite potential. We wanted to let you know.  ~Brown Recluse Books

We've used all kinds of tools to reach writers over the decade we’ve been in business, but I have to admit our ads in Funds For Writers and FFW Small Markets have, by far, been the most effective marketing tools we’ve found. You reach exactly the audience we want to target at very affordable rates.   ~E.D. Easley, Creative Editing Solutions, EaseDude2U@Comcast.net 

Thanks Hope! Two awesome students signed up for my workshop and I received some good leads! I just paid for another 4 weeks of advertising! I love your newsletters! FundsforWriters is an awesome place to offer your expertise and services to the writing community. Advertising on this site reaches many serious writers who otherwise wouldn't know how to find me. I plan on keeping all my advertising right here where I get the most bang for my buck.     ~Trish Hopkins - www.fairyfolkpress.com
