RE: assessing a lone-writer gig

["Kevin McGowan" <thatguy_80 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

If you haven't already, ask about the tools they are using...and who's been 
using them. When I got to my startup, I found that everyone had been 
"pitching in" with their Word files...and they were an absolute mess. I 
spent the first month just cleaning it up.

I agree with the others who say that connecting with management is key. If 
you get a good feeling from your potential bosses...you will be ok should 
you take the job.
