A professional writing portfolio should contain multiple examples of a writer's work, preferable across multiple genres.

We will meet twice weekly to write, workshop, and edit a range of works that will be suitable for submission to...
Students will build a diverse writing portfolio for submission to academic writing programs and professional writing opportunities. Each work will show mastery in a literary genre: fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry.
I have a BA in English Literature and an MA in Professional Writing, with a focus in creative writing. I have worked in the writing and publishing industry for twenty years as a writer and editor. I also prepare manuscripts for self-publication and for submission to open calls or agents. My personal writing portfolio includes magazine articles, topical essays, short fiction, and an extensive assortment of tabletop roleplaying games. I have successfully mentored young writers as they began their professional careers, and have many years of experience as a writing instructor.
Homework Offered
Students will have regular weekly writing assignments, as well as assigned reading. The length of the reading will vary based on the week's topic, but students should expect to spend a significant amount of time outside of class writing and editing their work. Work should be submitted via Google Docs so I can provide copyediting markup and comments.4+ hours per week outside of class

I am experience in working with neurodivergent learners and in providing accommodations to meet individual student needs. I also provide a safe and supportive space for LGBTQIA+ students to thrive and write about their lived experience.
I recommend learners work in Google Docs for a more collaborative experience.

Students may address their lived experiences with topics such as disability, neurodivergence, race or ethnicity, and LGBTQIA+ identity.
