Set clear intentions<\/h2>\n<p>In general, the goal of a writing portfolio is to structure your oeuvre in an accessible way and to tell the overarching story of who you are as a writer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But beyond that<\/strong>, it\u2019s about showing what type of writer you are and what type of client you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you could be a freelance writer trying to find <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/freelancer\/freelance-writing-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">freelance writing jobs<\/a> in the tech space, or a ghostwriter trying to gain memoir projects, and have two very different portfolios.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whatever your goal is<\/strong>, before you start putting your portfolio together, try to picture your ideal client and what language they speak, both in terms of actual writing and visual expression.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, everything in your portfolio should lead back to your answers to these questions, creating a red thread that guides the portfolio visitor on the journey you want to take them on.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Be specific in your curation<\/h2>\n<p>Once you have your red thread and purpose clearly in mind, it\u2019s time to curate your portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At this stage, don\u2019t be afraid to be selective<\/strong>. Putting everything you\u2019ve ever written into your portfolio can be highly counter-productive as it muddles the story you&#8217;re trying to tell.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, this might invite a wide variety of clients &#8212; including ones you\u2019re not excited to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to unwanted offers will take time away from writing, and accepting work you\u2019re not excited about should be a last resort, so it\u2019s in your own best interest to be selective with your portfolio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a sci-fi author who has been producing work in various sub-genres<\/strong> but your latest pieces have all included feminist themes and now you want your portfolio and author brand to reflect that.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, you should lead with the stories where this is most prominent.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on how extensive your backlist is, you can choose to leave some pieces that don\u2019t support this image of you as an author out or you can include everything you\u2019ve written, but in a descending order of importance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t be afraid of putting some people off with specific messaging<\/strong>; would you really want to work with the type of person who would be offended by something that is important to you in the first place?<\/p>\n<p>You can also highlight any piece of writing that has done exceptionally well.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019re an aspiring fashion journalist who had a blog post on floral fabrics go viral.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leading with this will help draw the right type of client in<\/strong> and shows that you\u2019re both knowledgeable on the topic and know where your strengths lie in your field of <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2023\/01\/10\/freelance-writing-tips-for-students-by-lucy-reed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">freelance writing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Curating your portfolio in this way invites confidence, as it shows that you put a lot of thought into everything you do.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Focus on functional design<\/h2>\n<p>While you\u2019ll want to consider our market niche when it comes to design, as a rule of thumb, simple, clean portfolios are usually better than overly stylized ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For a portfolio, while the design is important<\/strong>, it should not overshadow your writing, so think about how you can make the design functional rather than purely decorative.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re hosting your portfolio online, you can choose pre-made websites made for portfolios, such as MuchRack or Clippings.me, which offer some simple but effective design options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can also get more involved and pick a website<\/strong> host such as Squarespace or even <a href=\"https:\/\/reedsy.com\/website\/author-website-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hire a website designer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Remember it\u2019s not really about you<\/h2>\n<p>As a last piece of advice, while your portfolio is all about highlighting your past work, it is in fact more about the client than it is about you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What skills and services can you offer to your client?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying to change yourself to please others, but it can be easier to see yourself objectively and what qualities you possess that a future client or reader would want to know about when you put the focus on the client instead of yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As a bonus,<\/strong> it can help you get over any cringe you might feel about self-promotion.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>And there you have it. Whether you\u2019re trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2022\/12\/19\/turn-your-writing-hobby-into-a-side-business-by-linnea-gradin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turn your hobby into a side hustle<\/a> or you\u2019re putting more conscious effort into your author branding, a well-curated portfolio can help you reach the type of clients and readers you would love to write for. Good luck!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Linnea-Gradin.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-25412 size-full\" title=\"Linnea Gradin\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Linnea-Gradin.jpg\" alt=\"Linnea Gradin\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linnea Gradin writes about writing and publishing over at Reedsy &#8212; a website that connects authors with freelancing publishing professionals and gives advice on everything writing and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/how-to-self-publish-a-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(self)publishing-related<\/span><\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/guide\/book-design\/how-to-design-a-book-cover\/\">how to design a book cover<\/a> to where to find the best <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-classes\/online\/\">online creative writing classes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you go about creating an effective writing portfolio?
