Webinar: Building a Portfolio!

For our first event of 2022, we looked at portfolios – what they are, why you need one, and how to get started or update yours. Register for the recording for a webinar focused toward anyone looking to update their current portfolio.

In the rapidly changing and modern industry of writing, a portfolio is one of the most important pieces that all writers (new or experienced) should possess. Portfolios are an important tool used to provide proof of skills to a potential employer and highlight specialized interests and abilities.

In this webinar, we learned:

• the importance of using a portfolio
• organization techniques
• selection strategies
• presentation methods
• techniques to help you begin to build a portfolio
