What should a writer's portfolio include?
A writer's portfolio should include a bio that introduces who you are and what type of writing you specialize in. It should also include social links, such as a website or blog, where potential clients can find out more information about your writing. A contact form is also important, as this will allow potential clients to easily get in touch with you with job requests or questions. Finally, you should include samples of your work, such as blog posts, articles, or anything else you've written. This will give potential clients a good idea of your writing style and abilities.
How do I create a portfolio if I don't have any experience?
If you have no writing experience, you can include other types of work that demonstrate skills that are applicable to writing, such as research, editing, or marketing. You can also include any relevant projects you have completed, such as school assignments or self-initiated projects. You could also create your own fake briefs and complete so that you have some relevant work to showcase.
What should you not put in a portfolio?
When making an online portfolio you should not include any irrelevant information or information that is not related to your work or your industry.
