Put your best clips forward.

As a freelance writer/blogger, your portfolio is the most important tool to getting you assignments. But there are few sources out there to guide you in creating an effective round-up of your clips. Enter Contently: a brave, new online platform that helps writers and bloggers build an online portfolio, then connects them to a range of publishers and editors.

Create your own Contently portfolio and join SAJA and Contently for a portfolio review at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9th at the Contently offices (refreshments included!). Seasoned critics will help you identify the most compelling clips and arrangement for an effective portfolio. Additionally, a Certified Professional Resume Writer will be on hand for CV revamping.

With opening remarks by Jimmy Soni, Managing Editor of The Huffington Post.
