Excellent Piece on Writing Samples

My colleague Dan Binstock has put together an excellent piece on writing samples. He pretty much answers all the typical questions we get about what to use, what to look out for, etc.

Some of his advice includes: proofread like crazy and use a introduction to give the reader the context for the piece. This is particularly important if you are just submitting an excerpt or if you need to redact names in order to protect confidentiality.
