Have you ever written an outstanding piece of writing you are just dying to share with the world? J&B’s Writing Portfolio Project helps high school students gather their best work to ensure that no great essay is lost.

J&B works with young writers to select and curate their best-written work, identify a unifying theme, and prepare a cover letter that captures their intentions and long-term motivations as a writer. Most students prepare writing portfolios that include 10 of their greatest written works—and these are even up to 50 pages. A J&B writing portfolio is more than a compilation of written work—it becomes a vital tool for success.

A writing portfolio is a great addition to a college application, scholarship, or resume. Top-tier schools like Columbia have a “Supplementary Materials” section (https://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/apply/process/supplementary-materials) where students can share their academic research and/or creative writing/art portfolios. Princeton has an “Optional Arts Supplement,” (https://admission.princeton.edu/apply/optional-arts-supplement) where students are encouraged to share creative writing/art portfolios, as well. If you’re interested in showcasing your talents for college admissions, J&B can help you tailor your portfolio so that it contains everything you need for these sections!

The team at J&B brings their experience and expertise to the consulting process, working closely with students to recommend writing that highlights their best assets. By carefully assessing a wide range of student work, the J&B team engages you in a systematic review process to help you grow. As students review their work, they gain a greater sense of their strengths and weaknesses and can view their work with a more objective eye. You write, and we help you show it off.
