I do not have a web site for previous writing, but am a grant writer for a non profit housing agency, and I also do all of their press releases and promotional material. Could you help me, because the sea of blogiing web sites is making me nauseous.

The good news is that as a result of this post, I have had approaches from a few writers who know how to present themselves. Yes, it does, Amy.

I've received quite a few "I can write 4 u" emails too. I often wonder what people are thinking -- or if they're thinking at all. Maybe it's as you say, they think we're really that desperate that we'll outsource to anyone? Even so, it still seems a little silly to me. :-) Amy Derby's last blog post..<a href="http://write-from-home.com/dear-potential-client-your-copy-sucks" rel="nofollow">Dear Potential Client: Your Copy Sucks!</a> Sharon — I know this wasn’t meant as a humorous post, but I still had to chuckle.

However, getting a slew of them suggests that there's an issue to be addressed. Normally, I post in warm and fuzzy mode, but there is the occasional rant, too. :) Believe me, Cheri, if it had been just one, I wouldn’t have bothered.

Choosing the right tone for your communique is an art form too. Newbies or not, most folks respond better when they're not being berated for their mistakes. You might have done this post more justice if it didn't sound like you'd come fresh from reading a poorly written job inquiry e-mail and now had an ax to grind. You don't want to turn off potential regular readers, your blog's lifeblood. Sorry to criticize the first time I comment on your blog (!). I actually like your blog very much. Keep it up!
