This portfolio contains the sum total of the professional writing assignments from the ENGL 470 Professional Writing course – the main projects of which were the Persuasive and ‘Bad News’ letters, the Brochure, the Press Release, and the Formal Report which ended the semester. Thanks to these projects, I have been able to learn and practice several new professional writing skills such as meeting deadlines, delegating tasks, copy editing, revising, and effective oral communication.

In my future career as a creative writer, I will be able to transfer a great number of these skills, such as: meeting deadlines and implementing decisions, meeting goals, enlisting help, initiating new ideas, handling details, editing and revising, analyzing, and perhaps most important of all, being creative.
