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.

Before Booking:

  • All Travel and Accommodations Must Be Covered in Addition to the Editorial Rate.

  • All Press Stays Are Confirmed with a +1
    → I travel with a production assistant who acts as my right hand across photography, logistics, and production. All accommodations must include double occupancy.

  • All Flights & Transfers Must Be Covered
    → Roundtrip travel, airport transfers, and all on-location transportation must be arranged or reimbursed in advance.

  • Minimum 2–4 Weeks’ Advance Notice Required
    → Stays must be confirmed at least two weeks in advance to protect my editorial schedule and ensure proper planning.

  • On-Site Contact Required
    A direct point of contact at the property must be assigned to coordinate arrival, access, and logistics.

  • Full Itinerary & Stay Details Must Be Provided in Writing
    → Details such as room type, included meals, experiences, and amenities must be clearly outlined prior to arrival.

During the Stay:

  • Solo Creative Time Is Non-Negotiable
    → My process includes intentional alone time to observe, write, and photograph. Any scheduled tours or activities must be confirmed in advance.

  • Inclusions Must Be Clear & Confirmed
    → All meals, treatments, experiences, or room access expected to be featured must be confirmed in writing.

Editorial Standards:

  • Creative Control Remains With Prose
    → All writing and photography reflect the editorial tone of Prose. No content will be rewritten by the hosting party.

  • No Required Social Deliverables Without Contract
    → Coverage on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, or Substack is shared at my sole discretion and not guaranteed unless formally included in the agreement.

  • Publishing Timeline Is Determined by Me
    → I do not guarantee same-week or immediate publication unless explicitly agreed upon.

  • Shared Ownership of Content
    → All written and visual content remains the shared creative property of Prose and the client, unless otherwise agreed.
    Content may not be altered, resold, or distributed to third parties without licensing or written credit.

  • Right to Decline Publishing
    → If the stay does not meet Prose’s editorial standard, I reserve the right to decline publication.

  • Cancellations & Kill Fees
    → In the event of cancellation after travel is booked or once content has been created, a kill fee of 50% of the agreed rate will be invoiced.

If you're a hotel, resort, retreat, or private residence looking to be featured in an editorial experience, you're in the right place. Use the contact form below or email directly at sarah@prosepublishing.com. The agreements will be sent, and the invoice will arrive upon approval.
