Editorial Packages
Feature Packages
Paid packages support deeper editorial treatment — faster review, longer interviews, homepage placement, and shareable assets. The writing is always editorial. The work is always real.
All submissions are complimentary until Issue 2.
Editor Note: Due to early demand, featured placements are limited and selected based on editorial fit, community relevance, and available issue space.
You never need to pay to be featured — our editors regularly select businesses for free coverage based on editorial merit. Paid packages simply offer faster review and a more prominent treatment.
