Notifying Writing Clients About A Move

When you’re ghostwriting or doing some other kind of writing or editing for clients and you move, it’s important that you both keep in contact and assure them you’re not getting too distracted. Although I’d been wanting to move for ages, the opportunity to move to a community came up in a hurry – so did my decision to take advantage of it. The last 10 days has been a balancing act of paying attention to my client’s needs and getting ready to move.
It’s even more pronounced for me because although all my current clients live a long way a way, two prospective clients are coming into town next week on business and want to meet me. So I emailed everyone in question, letting the know I wasn’t moving far, but that my phone number as well as my address was changing, but email would stay the same. So far, everyone seems okay with that.
The trick, as always, is communication. You’ve simply got to let your clients know what’s up. Usually, when you do, they’re happy to work with you.
