Question
I'd like to create a free online writing portfolio that looks clean and professional. I've found many that deal solely with graphic portfolios, but none for writing. Any popular website suggestions?
Hi, Shawna!
I'm afraid I don't know. I'm not sure if you're looking for software to CREATE the site, or hosts for the site. It also depends on whether you're looking for a free site, a paid on, and what sort of writing you're doing (since the genre is going to depend heavily on where a reader would look if they aren't directed to the site by you.) Also, are you wanting a portfolio for agents and publishers to find you, or for readers/potential buyers of your books and stories?
Sorry I'm not more help, but maybe if you narrow down what you're looking for, I can direct you better. :)

Expertise
I'm happy to answer questions about any aspect of writing articles, short stories and novels, from the beginning kernel of an idea through completion. I can help with writing a query letter and synopsis to an agent or editor. I can explain publishing terminology and acronyms. I can also assist with questions about verifying the credentials of agents/publishers and how to proceed once you've been accepted for publication. I can teach the rules of formatting a manuscript, creating viable plots, characterization and flow in the following genres: romance, science fiction, fantasy, thrillers, suspense, horror, women's fiction, mainstream and mystery. I can also answer questions about writing for major print magazines in the outdoor genre (hunting/fishing/boating/travel.)
