# Write and publish an article

> Write a reflection, guide or practice directly in Soul with the article editor, then share it free or paid.

## When to use this

- You want to publish writing (a guide, a reflection, a recipe, a practice script) without making a PDF.
- You want members to read it on the page, on any device.
- You want to sell or gate a written piece like any other item.

**Step 1: Create the article**

Go to [Offerings → Content Library](https://portal.bringsoul.life/content-library). Click Add
Content on the Content tab, or Add → Content inside a collection. Choose Article: *"After
creating, you can write and edit the article content directly on the content page using the rich
text editor."*

**Step 2: Add the details**

Enter a Title, a short Description and a Thumbnail (optional). Choose Visibility, then click
Save.

**Step 3: Set price and form**

Go through the Pricing and Form steps, or leave them empty for a free article. Click Done.

**Step 4: Write it**

Open the item page. Under Article Content, click Edit Article. You'll see *"Editing Article"*
with a full editor. Write your piece, add headings, lists and links, and drop in images. A
starter template is filled in, so replace it with your own text.

**Step 5: Save**

Click Save. You'll see *"Article saved successfully"*. Click Edit Article any time to change it.

## Tips

- Write first, publish later. Use Move to Draft from the card's ⋯ menu while you write, then Publish when it's ready. See [Prepare content as a draft](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/content-library/prepare-content-as-a-draft).
- Articles can't be downloaded by members. They read them on your portal.
- Short and timely? Use an announcement. For updates, reflections and news, an [announcement](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/announcements) reaches members in their feed. Use an article for something people come back to.
- Soul AI can draft it. Ask [Soul AI](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/soul-ai) to write an article from your outline or notes. It saves it as a draft for you to review.

## What your members see

The item page shows the thumbnail, title, description and your article in full, nicely formatted. If it's paid, gated or private, they see that step first.
