Nobody is looking through all of your 18 projects. Prob 3, the max
Spec is fine? But also with 18 projects nobody's looking at any one too closely. I'd cut it down to 8-10 of your absolute best, quality over quantity.
Sick brag

For anyone under CD, I’d rather see 50% spec in a book if it shows me how you think and what you’re capable of.
i don’t care if the work is spec, as long as it’s not mostly spec. as a CD, part of what you’re being hired for is your ability to not only guide good ideas, but sell good ideas.
Keep only the best. 5 probably. 10 at the very most.
Yaaan…
CDs don’t need spec work, I don’t think. And 18 is too many. Cull
Down to 8-10

I’ve paid a lot of attention to the analytics on my portfolio site. Very rarely do any viewers look at more than 6 projects. Put your best up front. But if those spec works are something great you love, it’s ok to store them there.
