I volunteered once – for the Alzheimer’s Association. It was a cause near and dear to my heart. Come to think of it, I’m leading the editorial group for the American Communications Association e-textbook project that will bring free books to students and faculty.

The idea is to choose whom you give work away to, not to just accept it in order to gain clips.

There’s one time I think it’s appropriate to write for free. That is to donate your writing services to a church, nonprofit organization, or cause you want to support. Beginning writers can use the writing for clips, but I do it because I want to contribute to my church or other organization. I think that’s far different than writing for free for a business. And I volunteer; they don’t ask me to write for the chance for “exposure.”
