Does anything else distinguish Funds for Writers from similar listings on numerous web sites and online publications?
FFW tries not to form too many opinions or take political or controversial stands. We respond ASAP to e-mail inquiries. We answer many questions directly to individual writers outside of the FFW newsletter and web site. Most answers are within 12 hours, and I am not frugal with the precise facts on what grants, markets, etc., fit a particular writer’s needs. I don’t want to rope a writer into a gimmick or a “pay $20 for more detailed information” type trick. Our services are free until such time we can afford to charge. That affordability is in terms of number of subscribers. We are a service. How did you get the word out and let it be known that FFW exists, generate interest, and find subscribers? I put an ad in my other newsletter, Word Webletter, although its subscription base was only 300. And every newsletter I subscribed to, I sent a request to spread the word. Once the membership started growing, I began paying for some ads. Then I started writing the journalism schools at unive
