Write-From-Home.com, a finalist in Writing White Papers 10 Top Blogs for Writers, has a short but important post about the best way to apply for a freelance writing gig.
To her tip about thinking like an employer, I’d add order your resume or credits so the most applicable is on top. It’s so easy to have several resumes, each tailored in a particular direction or specialty, it seems a shame not to do it.
Write well and often,

Hi Anne,
Thanks so much for the publicity. :-)
I don’t tend to use a traditional resume, but I agree with your added tip for folks who do use one.
Happy Wednesday!
I actually now use something I call writing credits (www.annewayman.com/) and it’s far from a typical resume
I found all of your tips to be very helpful to me and can appreciate the experience. This is all new to me, and it is excellent to be a recipient of mentoring from you all.
;)
