I've recommended several of your posts to my clients as a way to encourage them to use me more effectively and efficiently on freelance assignments. Way back in the early days of my blog I wrote about where writers "fit" into a collaborative project such as a report or proposal: (http://www.avwrites.com/wordpress/?p=8). I think it touches on some of the excellent points that you raise here, namely that writers can bring a "big picture" perspective to projects. The bricks-and-mortar analogy is effective. Mind if I borrow that when talking to clients (with proper attribution, of course)? Hi, John –
