Some writers post PDFs on their websites. Some go old school and snail mail paper copies. Others have text versions on their website or attach Word docs to their queries. So, how do you share your writing clips with editors and prospective clients? Most of my clips are already online, so I include a partial list on my website. I think more than this would be over-kill, but I keep a complete list of my online writing using the social bookmarking tool Delicious. That way, when I'm writing a query and I need an article about, say, weddings or fitness or careers, I can quickly scroll through and find several relevant samples. Then I include these clips as hyperlinked bullet points like this:
