# POST /public/v1/writing-styles

`POST /public/v1/writing-styles`

Create a new writing style (status: PENDING). Populate `dos` and `donts` now or later via `PATCH /public/v1/writing-styles/:id`. A writing style needs rules before it can be linked to a campaign.

**Required:** `workspaceId`, `name`

**Optional:** `dos`, `donts`, `connectInstructions`, `inmailInstructions`, `qna`, `templateName`, `templateFollowUpConfig`, `accessScope`

**accessScope:**
- `OWNER` (default) — private to the authenticated user
- `WORKSPACE` — shared across the workspace; only ADMIN or OWNER members can set this
