Writer profiles
A writer profile describes a voice so that drafts sound consistent across articles. Every profile is linked to a WordPress author account, and drafts made with it are assigned to that author.
Profile fields
- Profile name: how the profile appears in the brief’s dropdown.
- Author name and Job title (required): used for the linked WordPress user.
- Description, Audience, Personality, Tone
- Expertise areas: topics this writer covers with authority.
- Point of view: for example, first person for lived detail and second person for instructions.
- Preferred vocabulary and Structural preferences
- Words, claims, or styles to avoid: banned phrases, clichés and claim types that need a source.
- Writing sample: a short passage that shows the voice.
The linked WordPress author
Saving a profile creates or updates a WordPress user with the Author role. Creating that user requires permission to create and promote users, so an administrator may need to save the first version. Deleting a profile keeps the WordPress author and the ownership of existing posts.
AI-assisted proposals
On the right of the Writer profiles screen, describe the voice you want, paste a sample, or both, then click Propose editable profile. The proposal fills the form for you to edit and save. It includes a fictional author name and job title. If you ask for the style of a named living author, you get high-level style traits, not an imitation.
Tips
- Fill in Words, claims, or styles to avoid. It makes the most noticeable difference.
- Keep one profile per real voice or publication rather than one per article.
- If a real person will sign the article, make sure the profile matches how they actually write, and have them review the draft.
