Client decided she needed different expertise for job...now what?

[leeannmerrill]

A client who has a SaaS-based employee monitoring business invited me to her job writing a white paper and hired me.  She did not ask if I had any knowledge in the business's field and my profile doesn't indicate that I do.  I sent her an outline and a plan (includng the fact that I would have some questions to ask her) and didn't hear from her for a week. I messaged again and now she says she thinks she needs someone who knows her field to do the job otherwise she'll spend just as much time explaining to me as she would writing the paper herself even though she doesn't know what my questions are.  I assume she wants to hire someone else to do the paper some other way but she said nothing else. So now looking at terminating a contract with no hours charged. Is there a way to do this without affected my JSS?
