The zine guidelines instruct writers to link to the full story in the samples. When giving trigger warnings, should these cover the full story as well, or just the content included in the samples?

Also, should the works in the portfolio be given trigger warnings as well? Is there a certain number of works that we should aim to include in the portfolio? Just wanted to clarify!

Thank you!

Just worry about the triggers for the sample itself. As for the portfolio: yes, triggers should be included. The number of pieces in your portfolio will vary but a good rule of thumb is to include at least 4-5 for a writing portfolio. Making sure there is range in those pieces will help as well.
