Inviting new writers to a Paid Publication

Any new users associated with a group publication should have an individual contributor page also referred to as a people page. The URL to these pages would follow the following structure: www.forbes.com/sites/publicationName/people/personName

In order to create a new people page, the user has to be invited through the publication.

Note: Any existing user added to a group publication will not automatically get a people page. Please reach out to Product if a page is needed.

  4. Click Invite New
