A Few of My Favorite Resources for Writers – Part 2
With the launch of a revised site, I wanted to provide authors with a few more of my favorite sites. If you know of sites that benefit writers, be sure and let me know. My goal is for the list to be both extensive and inclusive.
Voted one of Writer’s Digest 101 Best Web Sites for Writers every year since 2001, author C. Hope Clark’s Funds for Writers newsletter is packed with valuable resources and information for authors serious about the business and craft of writing.
Every issue of Funds for Writers contains:
- Editorial on all aspects of writing from editor, C. Hope Clark
- A guest article with always useful advice
- Contests for writer’s stories, poetry, and plays
- Markets for the freelance writer
- Publishers/agents for author manuscripts
- Grants, fellowships, and retreats for writers
