PUBLISH WITH PURPOSE
One voice.
Or a whole editorial team.
Bring related work together in a publication. Outliers supports three formats, with roles and review steps for collaborative publishing.
An ongoing body of work
A place for regular writing, perspectives and a developing conversation with readers.
An editorial home
Bring contributors together around an editorial direction, with writers, editors and an editor-in-chief.
Ideas in sequence
Organize connected pieces into an intentional reading sequence and develop an idea over time.
Make the editorial process visible.
Coordinate submissions, review notes, revisions and publishing decisions. Each contributor brings a perspective; the publication gives that work a shared direction.
FROM FOCUSED WORK TO SHARED CONVERSATION
Your project has a workspace.
Your ideas have a community.
Publishers.Studio supports your publishing projects. Outliers gives you a separate community to share your own perspectives and connect with fellow writers and readers. Join with your own Outliers account when you are ready to take part.

A few useful
answers.
Who is Outliers for?
Authors, journalists, publishers, academics and researchers around the world—and readers who want to engage with their ideas.
Is Outliers free?
Yes. Outliers is free to join and use. You do not need a Publishers.Studio subscription to join the community.
How do I create an account?
Open the Outliers registration page and sign up with email or Google. Introduce yourself, explore a topic or publication, and follow voices that interest you.
Can I publish with other people?
Yes. Publications bring writing together as a Blog, Newspaper or Series. The publication guide describes contributor roles, submissions, reviews and revisions.
Can I publish AI-generated articles?
Outliers requires human-written work. Limited translation, grammar and clarity assistance is allowed; generated articles presented as original human work are prohibited. Read the publication guide for the full policy.
Are my Publishers.Studio projects shared on Outliers?
No automatic project sharing is enabled. Outliers has its own account and community. You choose what original work to share there.
