Will you be my reference?

hi,
This one is a bit tricky, and I must ask admin first off not to take offence, 'cos none is intended.

I am joing a freelance website which requires references from people I have worked with earlier.Since I have worked with CC a few months now, I was hoping you could refer me.I would need to put your email, ph. number, country of residence, and position at CC. I will also get approved whatever text I put there as your reference.

Can I also put a link to my page on CC as part of my portfolio?

Do let me know, and sorry

if I have put you off.But I'd like an answer, one way or the other

I'm not sure how good a reference I would be since we didn't actually work together. But you are more then welcome to use us in any portfolio. References are usually more of a personal nature and since CC is setup somewhat impersonal with writers I don’t think we would be a good reference.

On a similar topic, when we create a portfolio of our work, is it appropriate to list/display some of our sales (even exclusives)? For example, lets say I wrote and sold an exclusive article for www.abc.com. Is it appropriate to present this material or direct a future client to the website and say "I wrote it"/"I ghostwrote it"? Just curious.

exclusives is fine, but "Full Rights" your pretty much a ghost writer and shouldn't do.
