The online writing community is a great source of information and support. I am a member of two online writing communities and have benefited a great deal from the expertise and wisdom of more experienced writers. One of the great insights I have learned (from Anne Wayman) concerns interviews with potential clients. When you find that the job you applied for does not interest you, you build bridges. How can this happen when you are subtly turning down a job offer? By simply telling the client that you think you are not the best person suited for the job and informing them that you can refer someone better suited should they need it (and should you know other writers). This way, you are fostering relationships. Who knows? They might have another writing gig that suits your interest if not connect you to another client who has one. The Internet is a huge social network; building relationships can expand your own network and may lead to a better writing opportunity. It wouldn’t hurt to pay it forward.
