For publishers
Keep publishing.
Open a new way in.
Your website remains home. Elseleaf gives readers another way to discover your publication and spend time with your stories.
The same journalism.
A different moment.
A reader may have time for a page. A listener may have time for a walk. Bring your work into both moments, with your publication clearly credited.
01 · PUBLICATION
Your website
The home of your journalism, identity and original stories.
02 · PROGRAMME
A recurring idea
A series with its own name, description and categories.
03 · EDITION
The next instalment
A selection of stories, introductions and a running order.
01
Keep your home.
Publish on your own website. Source links lead back to the original work.
02
Give stories shape.
Use programmes and editions to create a considered listening order, with space for an introduction.
03
Be discovered.
The planned directory connects interested readers with opted-in publications and programmes.
BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK
From an article
to an edition.
The WordPress Publisher plugin brings your published articles into a programme. Arrange them into an edition and add introductions, voices or recordings where they help.
Categories describe the programme. Each edition inherits that context, making the series easier to find. Programme categories and directory connection are planned additions to Publisher.
A few things to know.
Is Elseleaf another publisher?
Elseleaf is an app and a publishing directory. It will have a small introductory collection of its own, while helping readers find the publications behind the stories.
Do I have to make a programme?
No. The directory is being designed to include articles-only publications too. Programmes give you another way to present an ongoing series.
Will everything be listed automatically?
No. Directory discovery will require explicit opt-in. After automatic checks, eligible listings can appear. Editorial featuring is a separate choice made by Elseleaf.
Does listening happen on the website?
Reading and narration happen in the app. Public directory pages introduce publications, programmes and editions, then link to their source.
