Press Stays with Prose

Prose works with select hotels, brands, people, and destinations to create story-led coverage. Each stay or product we feature is photographed and written in the signature Prose tone. We write the kind of features that turn into landing pages and end up quoted in press kits. Our editorial features position your brand in front of prospects, partners, and private clientele.

When Prose accepts a press stay, we are entering into a creative collaboration that’s rooted in integrity. The following terms ensure the process is protected and mutually respectful.

All partnerships are custom, but typically include:

1 full-length article published on Prose
1 full spread published in our quarterly editorial issues
Up to 10 unique shots and styled photos (exported in color + monochrome)
1 scrollable visual gallery with direct links (if product or stay-related)
Placement in our “Elle Recommends” sidebar

Disclaimer: We do not exchange coverage for exposure or offer unpaid features. On rare occasions, we may accept fully compensated travel in place of a formal fee—only when aligned with our editorial calendar and reflective of our media value. All exchanges are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and must meet or exceed the standard value of a paid partnership.

Right to Decline Publishing
