Advertising
FundsforWriters reaches people with a passion for writing and lets writers know about your product or service through online or newsletter exposure. Since FFW limits its ads to writing-related services, you do not see those get-rich-quick schemes or anyone’s novel or poetry chapbook for sale. We are here to help writers earn a living and be better at their craft. Our newsletter open rates are as good as it gets in the writing world, with a rate averaging 30 percent.
“FundsforWriters ads have brought me hundreds of newsletter subscribers, new students, and at least $10,000 to my business in the last few months. Hope’s subscribers are lovely and these ads played a huge role in doubling my audience.” ~Amber Petty, https://amber-petty.newzenler.com/
