Created by a desire to help writers establish themselves as professionals

Monica Shaw, a freelancer writer, created Writer's Residence with Timothy Harding after her own struggle to create a an online writing portfolio:  "I couldn't find an easy solution online so I created my own portfolio from scratch.  This took a lot of time and energy which probably would have been better spent writing and pitching!"  Monica knew other writers who struggled with the same problem, so she and Tim, a computer programmer by trade, created Writer's Residence to help other writers create a stylish website with little fuss.
