Testimonials

The newsletter is becoming a Bible for me because you are thoughtful and conscientious in what you choose to print (and not print, I would assume). It is all of tremendous benefit, not just some throw-away information.

- Beth Herman

I always send people to my friend Hope. She’s like going to a train station for writers. Her knowledge can take you anywhere you want to go.

- Bob Perks, Author “I Wish You Enough” www.bobperks.com

“I wanted to tell you that thanks to all the newsletters you put out, I really upped the ante on my submissions last year because you sent around these great markets. Some I had success with, and some I didn’t, but the fact of the matter was it was THE most productive year for me ever. I used some of the tips in your great “From Hope” sections. I really look forward to reading where you are in your work, what suggestions you have for sticking with plans, etc – very inspiring and motivational! At any rate, TOTAL FundsforWriters was the best investment I made last year. Here’s to another year of productivity for the both of us! Thanks so much for all you do for the writing community. I can’t imagine my writing life without you!!!” A devoted advocate of FundsforWriters and Hope Clark,

Hi Hope,
Advertising in your newsletter was a huge success. Not only did it increase traffic in the short term, but our numbers have been increasing steadily on average since the advertisement was posted. And your readers were just the audience we were looking for! We are a relatively new website, and were excited to see our number of subscribers almost double over the weekend. Because of the increased traffic we received, we are now re-vamping the website in order to make it easier to respond to comments and suggestions. It is extremely rewarding to see people enjoying our blog and interacting.

“When I was looking for funding for my project, Mindshift 2012, a writers’ showcase and audience discussion, connecting local writers with readers, I did not know who to ask. I wrote to Ms. Clark and within minutes she replied with a list of ten plus sources of funding for my kind of literary event. Thanks to Ms. Clark, so far I have received monies from my local arts council for Mindshift with a number of other proposals pending. I am so

grateful Ms. Clark took the time to answer my query. She is extremely knowledgeable and a real class act.”

~Robyn McGee, Author/creator Mindshift 2012

Hi Hope, we met at the SCWW conference in Myrtle Beach last October, and I was so impressed with your lecture that I subscribed to FFW as soon as I got home. I wanted to drop you a line to let you know that because of FFW, I submitted AND WON The 2008 William F. Deeck-Malice Domestic Grant for Unpublished Writers! My novel will be finished this week, and next weekend I’m going to Malice Domestic to accept the award. Thanks you, and keep up the great work.

~Robin Hewitt

“I listed a contest on Hope Clark’s site, FundsforWriters (fundsforwriters.com) and the day her newsletter went live, my traffic went through the roof. Three hours later, the hits are still climbing. If you are considering an advertisement with Hope, I would strongly encourage you to do so. She obviously has a large following of loyal fans.”

~Timothy Judd, Administrator for Liternational, a bold new literary journal, http://www.liternational.com/

“When I started my book editing business, I had a tiny budget and wanted to be certain I chose the correct host for my ads. As luck would have it, around that same time I was introduced to Funds for Writers through a friend. After reading the newsletter, I realized that FFW must attract serious professionals — and I was correct! My first advertisement drew responses immediately, and I’m happy to report that some of my favorite client projects have derived from FFW ads. Thank you, Hope! ”

- Katherine Don, The Book Don

My first ad in FFW and Small Markets drew 263 signups to my free mini-course, followed by a very satisfying number of enrollments in my paid-for advanced writing programme. I received my first five unsolicited testimonials from the advanced course students within 48 hours. This is a highly targeted list! Highly recommended.

~Dr John Yeoman, Writers’ Village Academy.http://www.writers-village.org/academy

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained! Placing an ad in Funds for Writers is easy and affordable. And if your experience is anything like mine, response to your ad will be almost immediate, proof positive that FFW readers pay attention! Anyone with a product or service they believe fellow writers should know about, should definitely give FFW a try.

~ Cathy Swormstedt, The James River Writing Company, www.jamesriverwriting.com

Total Funds for Writers pays for itself almost immediately. Hope and her research skills are phenomenal. Thanks to TFFW I have sold four articles, all with clients who did this amazing thing called paying me. It’s quite delightful – money is querky but boy its fun stuff to have! If you haven’t signed up for TFFW, you’re just not serious about your career.
