Writers Resumes

A few days ago I wrote about finding writing jobs. But what do you do when the potential employer asks for a resume? You can refer them to your online version (you do have one on your website, don't you?) Or you can send one by snail mail. They shouldn't necessarily look alike, because the one on the Internet can contain links to your clips. It should also be written for reading on the screen. For tips, see my free article on writing for the web. You can view my example of an online writer's resume. I also direct potential employers to a page with more details and links. I can't tell you exactly how to design your paper resume, because the needs of a beginner differ greatly from those writers with credits or ones who specialize. Moira Allen offers comprehensive general guidance you can adapt to your individual situation in Creating a Writer's Resume on the Writing World website.
