The Simple Writing Portfolio Upgrade That Opens More Doors
Too many portfolios are bloated, unfocused, or overwhelming. Here’s a quick way to streamline yours so clients instantly see your value.
Most writers think their portfolio is about showcasing their work.
That’s a mistake.
A great portfolio doesn’t just display what you’ve written. It convinces the right people to work with you.
But too many writers take the “more is more” approach, stuffing their portfolio with everything they’ve ever published. These cluttered, overwhelming Franken-folios that force people to dig for the good stuff are doing you a disservice.
Clients don’t want to browse your entire career history. Publishers don’t want to sift through everything you’ve ever written. Agents don’t have time to guess whether you’re the right fit. They all want proof—fast—that you can solve their problem.
And that’s the key: Your portfolio isn’t about you. It’s about them.
A few quick tweaks can make your portfolio 10x more effective in just 15 minutes.
