Your work, with context

Most portfolio sites let you upload files. We let you tell the whole story.

The project

What you worked on, who you worked with, what tools you used, how long it took.

The process

The constraints you navigated, decisions you made, iterations you went through.

The reflection

What worked, what didn't, what you'd do differently. The learning matters.

What we believe

We get it. Writing is different.

Your work doesn't fit neatly into a PDF or a reel. It lives in scripts, dialogues, worlds, and the spaces between words. Whether it's a screenplay, a quest, a poem, or technical documentation, your work deserves to be seen the way it was meant to be.

I built wordbound because I needed it myself. As a narrative designer, I was tired of trying to fit my work into platforms made for developers, marketers or artists. The iteration, the reasoning, the craft behind the final result, none of that came through.

Here, your work gets the context it deserves. No follower counts. No engagement metrics. No gamification. Just your craft and the story behind it.

Be found by people who value what you do. Collaborators, teams, and opportunities find their way to writers who show up.

Craft over clout

Your work speaks for itself.

Process matters

How you arrived is often more interesting than the result.

Learning is growth

Side projects, class work, and experiments are all valid.

Privacy first

Your data is yours. We don't sell it.

Sustainable pace

Building for the long haul, not chasing viral growth.

Community over competition

The best portfolios inspire others.

Common questions

About wordbound

What is wordbound?

wordbound is a portfolio platform built specifically for writers and narrative professionals — game writers, game designers, narrative designers, screenwriters, technical writers, and storytellers. Think Behance or ArtStation, but for people who work with words. It helps you showcase your work with the context it deserves.

Is wordbound free?

Yes. Creating a profile and showcasing your work is completely free. wordbound is a passion project supported by voluntary donations to help cover server costs and development.

Who is wordbound for?

Anyone who works with words. Narrative designers, game writers, game designers, screenwriters, novelists, technical writers, UX writers, content writers, and creative storytellers of all kinds.

What makes wordbound different from other portfolio sites?

wordbound is designed specifically for writers. The editor supports screenplays, dialogue trees, lore entries, and other writing-specific formats. You can add context about your role, constraints, and process — not just the final work.

Can I use wordbound if I'm a student or beginner?

Absolutely. Class projects, personal writing, game jam entries, and experiments all belong here. Your growth as a writer is part of your story — there's no minimum experience required.

Privacy & sharing

Who can see my work?

You control your visibility. Public profiles appear in Discover and search engines. You can also keep your profile private and share it only with specific people. Individual works can be published or kept as drafts.

Can I showcase work under NDA?

Yes. You can describe your role and contributions without revealing protected content. Many writers share "Project X" entries that discuss their process without violating agreements.

Will my work be used for AI training?

No. Your content is yours. We do not use your writing to train AI models, and we never will. Your portfolio exists to showcase your craft, not to feed datasets.

What about AI-generated content?

AI-generated content is highly discouraged. Portfolios are meant to showcase your craft, and misrepresenting AI output as your own work undermines that purpose. If a profile or work is suspected to be primarily AI-generated, it will be flagged and may be removed. If you use AI tools in your process, be transparent about it. See our Terms of Service for full details.

Can I share my work privately or protect it?

Yes. You can keep your profile private, share individual works as unlisted links, or keep them as drafts visible only to you. You control who sees what, and can share privately with recruiters or collaborators without making everything public.

Features

What can I showcase on wordbound?

Quest designs, dialogue scripts, character sheets, screenplays, technical documentation, articles, lore entries, branching narratives, and more. Both shipped commercial work and learning projects are welcome.

Can I import work from other platforms?

Not yet, but it's on the roadmap. For now, you can link to external work or paste content directly into the editor.

Does wordbound support custom domains?

Custom domains are planned but not yet available. You can share your profile at wordbound.app/@username.

Community

How do I get started?

Create an account, set up your profile, and start adding works. No approval needed — you control what's public.

How do studios and recruiters find writers?

The Discover page lets anyone browse public profiles filtered by skills, genres, and experience. Public profiles also appear in search engines.

Who built wordbound?

wordbound is a solo project by Yuri (Flagrare), a narrative designer and software engineer. It's part of Storylight's mission to support creative writers.

How can I support the project?

Donations via Ko-fi help cover server costs. You can also spread the word or submit feedback to help improve the platform.

What's next

What's coming next?

We're working on collaboration features for co-authoring, new editor blocks like Director Commentary, branching narratives, and audio with synced subtitles. Also coming: more job board sources with tracking, a blog feature, and an About/resume section for your profile. This is a solo project, so things move at a human pace — but they're moving.

You've found your people

This is a space for writers who understand that words matter. Come as you are. Share what you've made. The rest follows.
