As a new writer, I haven’t had to make a portfolio before. LinkedIn functions well as an online resume, but beyond the sites I created as a hobbyist photographer, I didn’t know one single thing about building an online presence for my writing. Before I started building, I asked a seasoned writer pal for perspective. She assured me "very few people are actually going to read everything on your site. They just want a broad sense of your talents, enough to get your foot in the door to come talk to them." While happy in my role, big companies sometimes make big changes. There's even a word for it: pivoting. An online writing portfolio seemed like a good professional step and would allow me to explore other creative opportunities.
