I’d be worried to job in to another writer unless it was a topic I knew inside out, because my main concern would be letting down the person who trusted me.

And, somehow, I haven’t been in the position where I felt I had to job in anyone — I’ve made referrals if I thought someone else was better for the project, but I haven’t jobbed anything out — I don’t really want to act as an intermediary.

As a production manager, I’ve delegated/assigned/set up projects for people. I try to explain clearly, give written instructions, and encourage questions. Most of the time, I’ve had good luck.

I’m pretty good at sharing instructions and thoughts (aka Yapping), so no problem there. I’m a people person with lots of contacts, so finding “help” or others to work with is never a problem.

I know I need to creat a posse of good writers I can turn to as well and have gotten some good advice going forward.

I think I am pretty clear in giving instructions, but I should need to examine that a bit more closely to be sure.
