1. Ensure your published columns remain accessible, permanently
Automate the backup of your columns (past, present & future)
Authory continuously scans online sources for your published columns, automatically saving secure, permanent copies to your personal archive the moment they are detected. You maintain a searchable database of your published work, always ready for reference or download.
Import your website columns, newsletter archives, and PDF versions
Showcasing columns from personal blogs or subscriber-only newsletters can be difficult. Authory handles this by automatically capturing website screenshots for context and allowing simple uploads for crucial PDF versions or other writing samples.
2. Showcase your expertise and voice without manual website updates
Generate a self-maintaining columnist portfolio
Your Authory portfolio automatically incorporates all your found published work—columns, related articles, interviews discussing your views—and seamlessly adds future pieces published under your name, requiring no manual intervention from you.
Share targeted selections of your most impactful published work
Group your columns into specific collections based on theme (e.g., political commentary, lifestyle advice), publication outlet, or specific series for tailored sharing with editors, publishers, or readers. You can also embed your Authory portfolio within an existing personal website.

It automatically finds and backs up every published column from various online sources (newspapers, magazines, blogs), creating a comprehensive, self-updating columnist portfolio that accurately reflects your ongoing work without manual effort.
Why is a dedicated portfolio so important for a Columnist's career?
A columnist portfolio serves as crucial evidence of your consistent voice, perspective, and ability to engage an audience over time.

How does Authory offer more value to Columnists than a standard website builder?
While website builders require constant manual updates and offer no automatic backup, Authory handles the heavy lifting. It actively finds your published columns, creates permanent archives (essential as news sites change), and automatically adds them to your columnist portfolio, ensuring your published work is always safe, complete, and presentable with minimal effort.
Can you explain the process Authory uses for a Columnist's published work?
Certainly. Authory continuously monitors the web for articles published under your name. When it finds a new column, it automatically imports the content, captures a screenshot for context, and saves a permanent backup in your secure account. This content instantly appears in your professional, shareable columnist portfolio.
Is Authory beneficial for columnists who write for multiple outlets or aren't full-time?
Absolutely. Authory is ideal for columnists whose work appears across various publications, consolidating everything automatically. Even if column writing is part-time or one aspect of your career, Authory provides a vital service by preserving your published work and creating a professional showcase to demonstrate your expertise and writing samples whenever needed.
