01Why it exists

Publishing is more than generating words.

The difficult part of publishing is rarely typing the first sentence. It is finding worthwhile subjects, developing the angle, checking the material, shaping the article, maintaining the publication's voice and getting it ready to publish. Ghost Editor is designed around that workflow.

02Benefits

Publish more consistently without lowering your standards.

01

Each publication, its own voice

Multi-publication workspaces keep editorial profiles, audiences, tone and categories separate, with team access scoped to the right publication.

02

A quicker editorial start

Quick-start setup drafts publication defaults and categories for you to edit. Shape the starting point around your readers and standards.

03

Stories grounded in sources

Move from source-led discovery and commissioning to research and writing, with a clearer route from promising subject to reviewable draft.

04

Checks that support judgement

Safety review, copyright and source-independence checks, remediation and editorial scoring help you identify work that needs attention.

05

Assets and delivery together

Source images through Pexels, deliver article drafts to Ghost and keep an article archive without rebuilding the workflow elsewhere.

06

Know where the work stands

Follow operational status, audit history and retries. See your credit balance and manage subscriptions and article credits in Descartes.

03How it works

From idea to publication.

01

Set your publication context

Choose a workspace and refine its editable profile, audience, tone and categories. Keep team access scoped to each publication.

02

Discover and commission

Start with source-led story discovery, an idea, a brief or existing material, then commission the strongest angle.

03

Research and write

Develop sources and structure into a draft that your editor can review, revise and shape.

04

Check and refine

Review safety, copyright and source-independence concerns, remediation and editorial scores. These checks assist judgement, not guarantee accuracy or legal clearance.

05

Review the article and imagery

Source imagery through Pexels, check its suitability and usage rights, and apply human editorial review before approving any publication.

06

Deliver and track

Deliver a draft to Ghost and retain it in the article archive. Welcome and article-ready emails include private preview links; status, audit and retries keep progress visible.

Private Trial/Test Mode lets you review the workflow without publishing anything to Ghost or WordPress. Human approval remains separate from draft delivery.

04Ghost-native

  • —Pexels image sourcing and article archive
