A free writing portfolio that updates itself

On your page

What your portfolio shows

Everything a reader, an editor or a client needs to decide whether to read more of your work.

Photo and banner

Your face and a banner that sets the tone. No banner yet? You get a generated one in your colours.

Name and username

Your portfolio's address is publisha.in/authors/ followed by your username.

A short bio

Who you are and what you write about, in your own words, right under your name.

Your topics

The subjects you write about, each linking to its topic page.

Your links

Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, GitHub, Facebook and your own website.

Followers

Readers can follow you, and your follower count shows on the page.

Every story you publish

Newest first, each with its cover, summary and reading time. Publish, and it's there.

Your series

Multi-part series shown together, so readers can start at part one.

Edit in place

Edit your page where readers see it

There is no separate settings form to fill in. Open your own author page and every section has a pencil beside it: click it, change the text in a small window, save, and see the result in place.

  • Change your photo, banner, name, bio, topics and links one at a time
  • Switch to Preview to see the page exactly as a visitor does
  • A five-step checklist in your dashboard shows what's still missing
  • Finish all five and the checklist turns into a link to share

Your dashboard

See which stories are working

Behind the public page is your dashboard. It shows the numbers that tell you what to write next, built only from real counts: no estimates and no invented trends.

  • Views and likes on every story, and your totals
  • Your stories ranked by how many people read them
  • A six-month calendar of when you published, with your busiest month and usual day
  • Your latest draft, one click away

Found and shared

Made to be shared, and found

A portfolio is only useful if people see it. Yours is built for the places they will.

Share it anywhere

One tap shares your page to WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook or email, with a preview card showing your name and photo.

Understood by search engines

Your page carries Person structured data with your topics and social profiles, which helps search engines connect your name with your writing.

Listed in the sitemap

Author pages are in the sitemap search engines read, next to every story you have published.

Linked from every story

Each of your articles links back to your page, so a reader who likes one story finds the rest.

Make it work for you

How to build a writing portfolio that gets you work

Write the samples you want to be hired for

If you want to write about personal finance, your portfolio needs personal finance articles. Clients and editors look for proof that you can handle their subject, so publish two or three strong pieces in the niche you're aiming for before you pitch.

Keep your recent work strong

Your page lists stories newest first, so your most recent writing is what a visitor sees at the top. Write your strongest samples just before you start sending your link around, and keep publishing while you pitch.

Say what you write and who it's for

A bio like “Writer and reader” tells a client nothing. Try “I write plain-English guides to tax and money for freelancers” instead. Then choose topics that match, so your page and your bio say the same thing.

Show depth with a series

One article shows you can write. A five-part series shows you can explain a subject from the ground up, which is often what a client is paying for.

Link everything together

Add your LinkedIn and website to your page, and put your Publisha link in your LinkedIn profile, your email signature and your pitches. Each one leads people to the others.
