WritersHelper.com Invites Writers to Post Christmas Wish Lists

Audrey Owen, editor at writershelper.com, asks writers what they want for Christmas. Writers can post their wishes on her site. Gift-givers get great suggestions, including gifts that require no cash, for the writers on their lists.

Gibsons, BC (PRWEB) December 4, 2005 -- Writers get a little help with their Christmas wishes this year.

If you are a writer, Audrey Owen, editor at writershelper.com, invites you to post your wishes at writershelper.com/gifts-for-writers.html, then to send the Santa helper in your life to the Web page to read your wishes.

In case you need help making your list, Owen has provided some suggestions.

"I'm a writer as well as an editor. Most of the items I list are just what I'd like... Except for the books: I already own those. They are the mainstays of my editing business and provided the steppingstones in my writing career."

Audrey Owen has published for children and adults, both traditionally and through self-publishing. Moving with the times, she has become an editor to small businesses with Web sites.

Owen urges writers to have “real” Web sites and provides a link from her site to her own Web host. “What I learned from that company gave me an editing business with a world wide reach.

"A great Web site does more than provide advertising for a writer's work. It earns money in its own right. Imagine getting a business under your Christmas tree!”

A Web site is not the only unusual gift on the list, which includes gifts to fit any pocket book, even those that are completely empty. Free doesn't mean cheap, either. Some of the non-monetary gifts present a real sacrifice on the part of the giver.

Only a writer could know how much it means to have someone believe in a writer's passion for words. Owen's page on gifts for writers makes it plain that some of the non-monetary gifts will be the most difficult to give. "Uninterrupted time to write would probably top many lists."

One item that promises to be popular is the gift certificate for editing services. "Many writers would really appreciate help in paying for top-notch editing of their work. Buying a gift certificate for editing shows the giver's support for the writer's work."

Writers are encouraged to visit the site, scan the list and use the form to post their wishes. "It's like a gift registry.

"The wishes don't have to be things I've listed," says Owen. "Things one writer posts may very well be the tip someone else needs to meet the needs of another writer.

"You'll have to leave the URL near the computer of your personal Santa helper," says Owen with a grin. "Santa's busy right now and I'm not sure how often he'll be checking the pages."

What does Owen want this Christmas?

"Honestly, I have everything I need. As to wanting, well, English Breakfast Tea is always welcome...

"I could go for drinking that after a massage...

"On a cruise...

"Researching my next book..."
