We’re back! Our little team of writers and nerds have relaunched our online writing portfolio site, founded in 2008, and now up to date with the modern times (at last!). We still reckon it’s the easiest way for writers to market themselves https://t.co/jQveovd1Xa #NewProfilePic

One of my goals this year is to learn how to better monetise my #Substack (@eatsleepwild and @wrires). This includes getting more personal - I don't want to re-hash the same SEO drivel that seems to appear over and over again. Sharing some ideas here >>> https://t.co/sTj4nW44Jd

Do you participate in writing communities? I'm cultivating a list of awesome writing communities to share with my @wrires users, many of whom are just starting out in their careers. If you have any useful community resources to share, please chime in! https://t.co/6XNTI79sso

@wrires was launched out of my own experience as a freelance writer. These days I'm mostly going the self publishing route, and am hugely enjoying @substack as a creative outlet / money earner. Anyone else? Share with me your Substacks! Here's mine: https://t.co/Zu7YglJ0yp

Great days start with great feedback. A super review from a recent new user of @wrires https://t.co/g29NxiGEQS

New feature released yesterday. Create a custom snippet for the Writing Samples summary page. A great way to introduce your piece and describe its purpose!

[Writer's Residence @wrires]

Always great to start the day with some awesome feedback from one of our new users: “I found Writer’s Residence SO much more usable than any other portfolio builder I’ve tried (there were a fair few), and I’m really pleased with what I’ve been able to create with it.” ☺️

[Writer's Residence @wrires]

We are writers just like our users (which is why we understand them so well!). I wrote for pleasure over on @eatsleepwild. Here's my latest piece! -Monica https://t.co/c1UKkv3TeT

[Writer's Residence @wrires]

Our latest piece of writing is over on our
