A good writing portfolio answers three questions for an editor or client in under a minute: what you cover, where you have been published, and how to commission you. You can publish your portfolio at a permanent public link on this site and add a new clip every time a piece goes live, or download the HTML and Markdown files to host anywhere you like.

Yes. If you do not sign in, everything you type stays in your browser's local storage. You can download a self-contained HTML file or copy your portfolio as Markdown at any time.
Portfolio Pro removes the 10-clip limit so you can host your full archive of published articles and removes the Become a Writer Today footer from your public writer page. If you ever cancel, your clips stay in your editor so you can export them as HTML or Markdown.
Once your published portfolio has at least three clips, we open it to search engine indexing so editors searching your name or beat can find your page. Pages with fewer than three clips carry a noindex tag until you add a third piece.
Write two or three spec pieces in the style you want to be hired for and label them clearly as spec samples in the outlet field. A focused spec sample with a clear note still shows an editor or client how you structure a piece.
