In our May “how can we help you?” thread, a reader asks:
Is it better to send a published or unpublished piece of work as a writing sample? And if published, do you send the journal’s pdf from the journal site, or your own manuscript?
Good questions. I’ve heard that one should simply send one’s best work, published or unpublished, but I’m curious to hear from readers.
What does everyone think? It would be great to hear from search committee members and successful job candidates in particular!
