Tipline: Writers Can Behance, Too!

Though Behance is open to all Creative Professionals, it’s clear that the project gallery is overwhelming visual, not text-based. But, this doesn’t mean that all you out there in the literary world can’t use Behance + ProSite. In fact, we have a bunch of Creative Fields geared directly to you, including  copywriting, editing, journalism, screenwriting, publishing, storytelling, and writing

A few tips:

1) Embed Your Work From ISSU:
In the past, the fact that we don’t’ support PDF uploads has been a problem for writers. Now, we support Embeds from Issu, a free service that lets you upload + publish your paginated work, polished and beautiful. Just go here, upload your writing, and then use the EMBED feature in our project editor to add the embed code. Check out an example of how you can use the click-through below.



2) Include visual elements:
Whether it’s the cover of a magazine you were published in, or some related imagery, it helps to have a visual element as a project cover or within the project iself.

3) Use ProSite as your Personal Website
Although Behance Network is design-heavy, ProSite allows so much freedom that it’s equally well suited for a Writer as it is a Graphic Designer. Add as many pages as you’d like, such as an About Page, Interviews, FAQs, Publication Galleries, Contact Page. Here’s a good example of how a children’s book illustrator uses it: http://rolandtheillustrator.com
