TIME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT YOURWRITING CAREER

You won’t be able to quit work and write, but you might find a grant to make
your writing goals easier. Or a crowdfunding opportunity to fund your project.
Find serious contests, too. Only those that pay in cold hard cash. No
pay-per-click, $1 per blog or exposure markets either. Hope Clark writes for a
living. If she wouldn’t try these opportunities, she doesn’t post them. Our
newsletters are our world. Free subscription.

Chosen 101 Best Writing Websites by Writer’s Digest for the last 23 years in a
row.




 


THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

We've all heard the horror stories of a teacher who bashed a paper only for the
student to quit writing or postpone doing so for years. The sad thing is that
the student is only being taught to write for that teacher. The writing is
usually more academic in nature. There's a big lesson missing.

On the other hand, if classroom writers are taught to write for the class, or
for a subjective online audience that may quit reading after the first paragraph
if not entertaining enough, the gymnastics shift. The mindset of the writer
changes. More minds will be exposed to the writing. A wider net needs to be cast
to entertain, educate, or attract the reader.

HOW I TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED NINE NOVELS WITHOUT AN AGENT

Douglas Weissman / 2024-11-18
Fact: I am a novelist and travel writer. Fact: I have published nine novels.
Fact: I don’t have an agent. Fiction: The path to publication is
straightforward. Imagine a labyrinth. Erase the walls. That's publishing. After
my MFA program I stepped into the maze-less puzzle—lost. I queried the novel I

WHO YOU WRITE FOR

C. Hope Clark / 2024-11-18
Just last night, I was assisting a grandson on how to write his paper for class.
It was a paper in which he was to do research, actually do an experiment, and
come to a conclusion. He wrote it per guidelines. He clearly wrote it for a
teacher. That opened... Read More


LOVE THE PATH YOU’RE ON

C. Hope Clark / 2024-11-18
I spoke at the Marlboro County Library in Bennettsville, SC this week. It was a
two-hour drive, but hubby and I needed to get out, and I simply adore a good
book club visit. I have been to a lot of book clubs. Each has its own
temperament. This time,... Read More


A SMART WRITER’S SMARTPHONE

Alex J. Coyne / 2024-11-04
I was asked to review a short story collection called NSFW by David Scott Hay,
and in the process learned that, surprisingly, the manuscript was entirely
written and edited on a smartphone. Smartphones are capable of writing and
editing stories. While they’re distinctly different from computers or desktops,
phones are... Read More


TITLES AND HEADLINES

C. Hope Clark / 2024-11-04
I like to scan emails on my phone, sorting and culling what I have to take
action on. Then I go back to my desktop where my massive screen and lots of
space makes my writing life easier to handle. What I wind up doing is deleting a
lot of... Read More


TRYING TO KEEP UP

C. Hope Clark / 2024-11-01
The great thing about the Internet is the wealth of information that teaches us
about writing and publishing. That's also the worst thing about the Internet,
because you become inundated with the latest and greatest advice. About the time
you feel you have grasp how to accomplish or succeed in... Read More


WHEN SNAFUS HAPPEN

C. Hope Clark / 2024-11-01
While at my annual Edisto Beach retreat recently, partially to work and
partially to get away, I picked up the local newspaper. It's published monthly
and is sort of informative, sort of gossipy, and partially public service
announcements. It provides me a flavor of the beach and its people, though,...

LET’S TALK ABOUT A LEGAL TRANSCRIPTION

Alex J. Coyne / 2024-11-01
What does it take to become a scopist (legal proofreader) and transcriptionist?
I’ve worked for legal agencies and registered court reporters -- and with
training, so could you. Legal transcription is technical and detailed, however,
also lucrative as a part-time income or career. What a scopist does Scopists
work with court... Read More


WRITING HISTORICAL NONFICTION FOR PROFIT

Bobbie Smith Bryant / 2024-10-15
Since the popularity of DNA testing, millions of people have sought information
about their ancestors. However, not everyone wants to do the research or write
about their family history once uncovered. This opens a huge market for those
who enjoy looking for dead people and an opportunity to turn a... Read More


(WRITING) TRUE CRIME PAYS

Alex J. Coyne / 2024-10-15
True crime is an interesting topic, and the niche is more multifaceted than a
diamond. Authors with a knack for research and interviewing could make this
genre their best friend. I’ve written about crime scene cleaning and true
crimes, interviewed reformed criminals, and learned about law. Here’s how

 * - CAROLINE SPOSTO, EMERALD THEATRE COMPANY
   
   Thanks to the publicity from your newsletter, our little Memphis, Tennessee
   event received scripts from Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Iowa,
   Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
   Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, the UK and New
   Zealand. This wealth of wonderful material yielded quality vignettes that
   made the best local actors and stage directors (including a popular local
   radio personality) eager to donate their time and talent. Their presence, in
   turn, sold tickets. We played to packed houses and everyone had a great time.
   The bottom line is, without you, we would have had something rinky dink --
   with you we had something substantial. The publicity you provided on the
   front end made all the difference in the world!
   


 * -LAURA KEPNER, SAFETY HARBOR WRITERS AND POETS
   
   Hope gave the keynote workshop at the Safety Harbor Writers Conference:
   Solving the Mystery of Writing, in Clearwater, Florida. Hope could have left
   after her keynote address, but instead, she stayed throughout the day and
   made a point to talk to individual writers one-on-one. At the end of the day,
   Hope participated in a panel and stayed for a Q&A. She left such a good
   impression on so many that I believe my conference would have been a success
   had she been my only presenter.
   


 * – WITH DEEP APPRECIATION, LAURA LEE PERKINS
   
   I am sitting in a ferry terminal, waiting for the next boat to take me to the
   Turkeyland Cove Foundation Writer’s Retreat on Martha’s Vineyard Island.
   Am I excited? You bet I am! Why? Because this is the first time in my life
   that I have been offered the gift of time and space for an entire two weeks
   to focus on what I love to do most: WRITE! I was accepted months ago and
   “anticipation” has been my middle name.
   The timeliness of this couldn’t be more perfect. Maine Authors Publishing
   just released my collection of twenty-two inspirational essays a few days
   ago! “Lighting Your Spiritual Passion” One of those essays was chosen for
   3rd place in the Writers’ Digest Contest Inspirational category a couple of
   years ago, spurring me on to publish a collection of essays. When I opened
   the AMAZON page for my newest book, I cried with relief and joy.
   
   The common thread here is you, Hope Clark, and your FundsforWriters. You
   inspire me to have more courage, to reach higher, and you offer me threads of
   hope that I, too, can continue to grow and contribute something of worth to
   the world. Do you have ANY idea how much you mean to all of us who sit at our
   computers on Friday afternoon, waiting for your email to come in? I cut and
   paste every opportunity into a computer document that remains “open” on
   my desktop so that I can refer back to it any time I feel discouraged. Thank
   you for your dedication to sharing the roller-coaster ride of writing. You
   are a gifted teacher and mentor.

   Advertising with FundsforWriters has brought amazing people to my writing
   retreats. My ads generated a strong, immediate response from Hope’s active,
   engaged fans. Hope is a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend
   FundsforWriters as smart, effective use of marketing resources.

   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.
