6 essentials of a professional website
The Writer
Writing on WritingThis 2010 article for The Writer magazine introduced writers to online portfolios, guiding them on what to include to enhance their professionalism.
Hi, my name is: Monica Shaw, a freelance writer and founder of Writer's Residence, the service I used to create this writing portfolio!
I started Writer's Residence in 2008 after successfully launching my own career as a freelance writer. I was lucky to have a technical background and the skills to make my own online writing porftolio. But not all writers have the opportunity - or the motivation! - to learn such a skill. I got together with a group of friends to create Writer's Residence for all the writers out there who'd rather be writing than fiddling with a website.
Aside from freelance writing, I am also a teacher, data analyst, web developer, and mountain leader. Visit my LinkedIn profile to learn more. Read a few of my favourite writing samples below:
