C. Hope Clark (Hope) founded and serves as editor of FundsforWriters.com, a well-known writer's reference that reaches 17,000 readers weekly with grants, markets and motivational editorials that generate stacks of thank-you notes from readers. Writer's Digest voted FundsforWriters one of its 101 Best Web Sites for Writers for the past six years.
Hope’s dozen ebooks are rapid sellers ranging from Grants for the Serious Writer to Short & Sweet; Markets for Fillers. Hope has published in magazines like Writer's Digest, The Writer Magazine, ByLine Magazine, Next Step Magazine, College Bound Teen, TURF Magazine, and Landscape Management. The Shy Writer is a nonfiction paperback she penned to aid writers like her who have difficulty appearing in public. Published in 2004, it continues to readily sell. She is also co-founder of Little Owl Mentoring Program, a nonprofit that partners writing teens with published writers. After 25 years as a manager with the federal sector, she requested an early retirement at age 46 to write full time and manage FundsforWriters, marrying her knowledge of grants and her love of writing.
She lives in Chapin, South Carolina on the banks of Lake Murray and has completed a novel, the first of an agricultural mystery series, which she is currently distributing to assorted agents. She is married to a recently retired federal agent who inspires her love of mystery writing.
