Writer Wednesdays: Hope C. Clark, a Writer's Friend Indeed

If you are a writer, you have to sign up for C. Hope Clark's Funds for Writers newsletters (they are SHOCKINGLY free). The website is consistently named one of the best 101 websites for writers, and each week, I find either one contest I want to enter, one agent that sounds like a good fit for me, or one tip that is super useful.
Besides these great resources, the newsletter also features a success story from one of the newsletter subscribers and a motivational piece by Clark herself. I look forward to getting it every week, and I always feel thankful that there is someone out there genuinely helping out writers (instead of someone else that just wants more money or to provide useless information that I figured out a long time ago!).
Do yourself a favor and go check out the website at http://www.fundsforwriters.com/hope.htm. While you are at it, check out Clark's blog: http://www.hopeclark.blogspot.com/. A wealth of knowledge from someone that's not only successful, but motivational and uplifting. She won't surgarcoat what it takes to be successful, but she will push you to achieve your dreams if you let her.
And if you ever get to a place where you can help out fellow writers, take a cue from Clark and give back. I promise, good things will happen for you too :)
