Hi! It's very nice to meet you! |
Tab #1: Home
I included this tab because a good website always starts at home. Lol.
Tab #2: TOC
I included this because I want you to be able to easily navigate my portfolio.
Tab #3: About Me
I learned this shouldn't be a copy of my resume, but it should showcase more of my personality.
Tab #4: Cover Letter
I learned to create a catchy opening paragraph.
Tab #5: Resume
I learned I need to update my resume often.
Tab #6: Assignments
I picked this tab because it highlights two of my best pieces of work in this class.

I spent 12 years as a taxi driver/dispatcher in Cincinnati, learning about human nature while supervising the office and dispatching trips to a fleet of 40 cabs. New Year's Eves were indescribable. Ask me about the time I had to find a driver who was having a heart attack, or the day a cab caught fire while on a trip and the driver didn't know. Go on, ask me!
I've been an author for the last 14 years, turning out 37 full-length novels in science fiction, fantasy, adventure, horror, and romance. My books collectively have been downloaded over a million times; my readers eagerly await each new release. You can see the pictures they've sent in of themselves with my books here. I put everything into my work and they can tell. There are 19K reviews on Amazon that you can read. Go on, read them.
My next goal is to see these stories turned into films and TV shows. To that effect, I've been adapting them into screenplays. I'm new, but I'm strong and I love my job. Writing, in any form, is what I was born to do. I dare you to read my stories and see for yourself. Go on, do it!
I also built this website. I have many skills. I'm constantly expanding my knowledge base.

RE: Portfolio
Dear Hiring Manager,
This portfolio was created to help me get hired after I graduate. It showcases my skills in researching, power point, design, and writing. I am a highly motivated and progress-focused writer with a long-standing background in fiction, non-fiction, blogging, website design (Weebly and Webstarts) with light building skills, as well as publishing, formatting of digital products (EPUBS, MOBI, PDF, Word), and basic SEO knowledge. I recently went back to school to finish my education and increase my skill set.
Throughout the course of my career, I have written, edited, formatted, and published more than three dozen novels that are available throughout the world. I have written comic books, web content, hundreds of blog articles, social media posts, and even a screenplay. I handle all my own marketing and have over 10K followers on Bookbub.com. There isn’t anything I can’t write.
Please take a moment to review my attached resume. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with you.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lora Stiver

This assignment was to determine if bugs really are being added to the food supply without the knowledge or consent of consumers. Finding reliable sources was difficult and the final answer wasn't one I expected. It made me more openminded on sensitive topics.

This assignment was to recreate a book cover for a story I'd chosen. It challenged me to view the story in a new way and allowed me to increase my design skills.
