Have you been out beating the bushes for new work lately?
An increasing number of employers and contract clients
are requiring writing samples as part of their initial
screening process the past couple of years. I would
estimate that my current work is evenly divided between
projects that come to me through referrals from past
employers and/or clients and projects from new contacts
I developed myself. Very little of the referral work
required that I provide examples of past work, but almost
all of the new contact stuff did.
