Helping others through writing

What a lovely idea for a (guest) blog post by Lisa Rivero over at Write It Sideways:

Regardless of how often or even whether we are published or how much (if any) money we make from our writing, all of us have a love for written communication and at least some skill with words, and we can use that love and skill in valuable ways, big and small.

Lisa provides a few suggestions for how you can use your writing skills to benefit others without expecting anything in return. This is my favourite:

Write short book reviews or reading lists (with or without a byline), and ask if you can make copies for distribution at your local library.

I could do that. You could do that. What a smashing idea.
