For teachers, researchers, serious enthusiasts

Do you know something the world should know? Write a course.

You write a five-minute course in your language. Sophia reviews it, translates it into 30 languages, publishes it to readers in 30 languages, and pays you for every validated course, every Monday.

Free. You keep your copyright. You can withdraw a course at any time.

How it works

Four steps. No engineer, no file to email.

1Your author accountSign in with Google, Apple or your email. Name, title, institution, photo, and the creator agreement signed online. Ten minutes.
2You write500 to 900 words in the Studio editor: five parts, a timeline, a “Did you know?”, royalty-free images suggested on the spot. The rules check themselves as you type.
3The team reviewsAn answer within 72 hours: accepted, or a change to make, explained in the editor. No refusal without an explanation.
4Sophia does the restQuiz, glossary, cover, translation into 29 other languages, publication. You follow every step from your dashboard.

You write once. Sophia publishes thirty times.

The same course exists in French, English, Spanish, German, Arabic, Japanese and 24 other languages, with an open-book quiz. An author in Belgrade is read in Lisbon and Warsaw without doing anything more.

  • Translation into 29 languages, checked by an automatic quality gate
  • A quiz of 8 questions written from your text, never beyond it
  • Glossary completed, cover illustrated
  • Your name, title and photo on every course, in every language
Payment

A flat fee per validated course, paid every Monday.

Every course the team validates earns you the same flat fee, whatever its readership and however many of the 30 languages it is published in. The amount is shown in your Studio from the day you join. It lands in your pot the moment the team accepts the course and launches production. Sophia pays the pot every Monday. No threshold, no waiting for the end of the month.

In US dollars, by the means agreed with the team. A new author can have three courses validated in the first week, then one a week: a fee, not a race.

What counts as validated
You propose a title and a pitchthe team accepts
You write, the team reviewswithin 72 hours
Accepted and launched in productionyour pot grows
A course is validated when the team accepts it and launches production: quiz, glossary, cover, 29 translations. The fee is earned at that moment, whatever happens next.

Who can write?

People who know what they are talking about: teachers, doctoral students, researchers, curators, specialised journalists, published authors. The title and institution you give appear under your name; the team checks before the first publication and adds the “Verified expert” badge.

You make videos instead? The video creators programme is another door: the Sophia creators hub.

How long does a course take to write?
Count two to four hours for a first course of 500 to 900 words, sources included. The editor tells you live what is missing.
How many courses can I write?
Three in your first week, then one a week. Every course starts as a proposal (a title and a few lines) that the team accepts before you write. The team can raise an author's limit.
Which language should I write in?
Yours, among the app's 30 languages. Sophia translates into the 29 others.
Who keeps the rights?
You remain the author. You grant Sophia the right to publish and translate the course in the app; you can withdraw it with thirty days' notice.
Can I write my own quiz?
Yes, the editor allows it. Otherwise Sophia writes it from your text and you can review it.
How am I paid?
A flat fee per validated course, in US dollars, by the means you agree with the team; the amount is shown in the Studio when you join. Your pot is paid every Monday for the courses validated the week before. No minimum.
