Summary: This week's show is about how to get that green stuff: money. Most of us are familiar with the usual sources: publishing contracts, magazine gigs, selling a script to Hollywood. But there are other ways of making money writing. C. Hope Clark is editor and founder of FundsforWriters.com and author of The Shy Writer: The Introvert's Guide to Writing Success. What started out as helping a few writing friends, evolved into a newsletter and ebook business online that serves 17,000 writers each week. Hope has 25 years in federal service in lending, grants, and personnel management and uses this background often in her work advising other writers. In this exciting interview, Hope reveals: * What grants and fellowships are * Who awards grants and fellowships * How to increase your chances of getting a grant * Why you should contact your local community foundation * What some of the lesser-known markets for writing are and how to find out about them * How you can maximize your earnings as a writer * How to write a foolproof query letter.
