The quotation above is my favourite way to test my educator husband's humility, but it applies to me too. I love writing, but I also love to help writers to learn. I certainly don't know everything about the craft and business of writing but when I find a gem of inspiration, help, or advice I feel honour-bound to share it.

Help for Writers

• My series of guides to writing contests - 'The Writing Contest Expert's Guide to Fiction Contests' and 'The Writing Contest Expert's Guide to Nonfiction Contests' - see more about the series here
• My book 'Positive Thoughts for Writers' - a day by day guide to facing the knockbacks of our calling with a smile, optimism, and a bagful of ways to get published.
• I spoke on the topic of 'Writing for International Publications' at Aghamore Literary Festival
• I've created several features for FundsForWriters
• I wrote a monthly column about Writing Contests at Writer Online for four years until, sadly the publication ceased
• The Writers Toolkit - packed full of useful links and tips
• The FAQ section - advice for writers
• My blog about words and writing, wordfoolery, should include the odd gem of inspiration and advice, hopefully!
