Your spotlight
A longer feature about you and your work.
A written feature about you and your work on Online Gallery — an article rather than an advertisement.
Requesting one
- Open Spotlight.
- Pick the works you want it built around. The first work you pick becomes the cover, so lead with the one that stops people.
- Send the request. We write it and let you know when it is live.
Choosing the works
Pick a run that hangs together rather than your five most different pieces. A spotlight is read from top to bottom, and works that talk to each other make a story; works that have nothing in common make a list.
Make sure the photos are good before you request it. We can write around a weak image but we cannot fix it, and the cover is the first thing anyone sees.
Spotlight or Promote?
Different things for different moments.
- Spotlight is a piece about you, on our site, that keeps working for years and turns up when someone searches your name.
- Promote is paid advertising that works while you pay for it and stops when you stop.
A spotlight is usually worth doing first: it gives an advertisement somewhere worth landing.
