Certificates from school or from professional training?

[Lauren]

RK,

Search for "portfolio" and "resume."  What you are looking for is a way to
demonstrate your ability to write.  There are plenty of portfolio and resume
resources here.  You should also look for creative ways to produce writing
samples.
