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.
