First, go to the Advance homepage . Then click on "Sign up," located in the top right-hand corner of the page. Fill out the necessary fields, keeping in mind that they are all mandatory to create a profile. After you fill out the information, you will want to check off that you agree with the terms & conditions of Advance (the news and special offers box is an optional perk). Once you click "sign up now" your profile will be created. You may upload a headshot picture and any other information, noting that it will be made public if your paper is posted to Advance. If you need additional help, check out the How To Guides.
