Your bylines, kept at an address you own

Freelance journalists whose bylines sit on titles they do not own.

Free to start, no card. You can export your posts at any time, on every plan.

Your work lives on other people's domains. A title folds or drops a section, and the piece you were proud of now answers with a 404, or with someone else's advertising around it.

An address of your own fixes that: every piece listed by subject, and one link to send an editor who asks what you have written.

What you need

  • An address that outlives a masthead

    Your archive sits on a typoza.com subdomain, or on your own domain with a paid plan. If you stop paying, your domain sends readers on to that subdomain, and we delete nothing.

  • An archive sorted by beat

    Categories and tags group your pieces by subject, and each one has its own page. Send an editor the page that matches their section.

  • Republish without competing with yourself

    If a piece ran first elsewhere, set the post's canonical address to the original. Search engines then treat the original as the reference, and your archive stays complete.

  • Readers who stay when a title drops you

    Switch on the Letter and your new pieces go by email to readers who subscribed on your site. The list belongs to you, and you can export it with each subscriber's consent date.

  • See who cites you

    If another site links to one of your pieces and sends a pingback or a webmention, your workspace lists it with the passage around the link. WordPress sends pingbacks by default.

  • Leave with your archive

    Your pieces export at any moment as Markdown and JSON, image addresses included. The image files stay online at those addresses; download them yourself if you leave for good.

What Typoza does not do

Better to read it here than to find out after three posts. If one of these is a dealbreaker for you, do not sign up.

  • Readers cannot pay for a piece. There is no paywall and no paid subscription; if selling your work to readers is the plan, look at Ghost or Substack.
  • No newsroom workflow. There are roles and a review step, but no commissioning desk and no editorial calendar.
  • Comments are open under every piece from the start, and what readers write on your site is yours to answer for. One switch closes them across the site, another under a single piece, and closing erases nothing.
  • Typoza does not check rights: republishing a commissioned piece on your own site is between you and the title that paid for it.
  • Your robots.txt turns away the crawlers that train AI models, and your pages reserve text and data mining. Nothing stops a crawler that ignores both.
  • No audio or video hosting. An embed plays once the reader clicks it, and the file stays with the service that hosts it.

The post you keep putting off

Write its first paragraph today. The post stays a draft until you publish it, and no reader sees it before then.
