As a writer, there can be nothing better that will reflect the kind of talented writer that you are than a writing portfolio. As a poet, free lance writer, journalist, or even a fiction writer, it is always advisable to have a portfolio that can help you organize the samples of your best work all into one file or folder.
With the advances in computer and word processing technology today, it has made it easier for many people to keep files in electronic form for storage. As a writer, you should be able to benefit from this same technology by putting your work together in e-form for better organization and storage.
It is always best to have copies of your work in both electronic form and hard copy. When you have copies of your files in one location that are all in electronic form, always have a back-up of these same files that you store somewhere else in case the original files are destroyed.
Whenever anybody asks for a sample of your work, having a writing portfolio will definitely help you choose amongst your best work quickly to submit to them. Finding, accessing, and printing the copies of the work will be so much easier when you have them stored in both hard copy and electronic form.
With technology's development, you can have a writing portfolio stored in two different ways. One of these ways is through your own website that you can make accessible to the public with or without membership. Having a web page full of your work can help you keep records on yourself that others can access, when needed, and all you have to do is direct them to your website whenever they need a sample of your work.
However, there are also others who want to keep their work private until the right time they are ready to show it. The second option writers choose is to keep their writing under wraps by storing their hard copies and electronic copies in their office or home and not sharing anything on the internet. This way they have more control over the access and distribution of their work to specific audiences who want to view the work.
Of these two methods, freelance writers may tend to go for the first option of posting their work on line, mainly because they make money off the kind of work they do. By having a web page of their work they allow clients and companies to see the samples of work they have done so that the buyer will be able to hire them for specific projects. Creative writers who want to preserve and save their work for a larger and more prestigious publication company may go for the second option to protect his work from being copied while not published yet.
Your value as a writer is something that can be better reflected with the kind of portfolio that you have. Getting a writing portfolio together is a best practice among many writers to organize their best work and share it with the world in an organized and professional manner.
