People in the writing business know the name C. Hope Clark. She has created, edited and maintained for many years the award winning site, FundsforWriters.com, a weekly newsletter that reaches over 40,000 authors, publishers, professors and more. Writing is but one of her many passions. Mysteries and dachshunds are another.
