Compare Our Writer Tiers

Talent comes in every flavor.

The Perfect Writer for Every Need

Every writer at Prose Media is highly skilled. Only the most talented journalists and copywriters are invited into our network. In fact, all of our Writing Pros are vetted three times.

That said, our writers differ in their level of professional experience and industry expertise. We offer a choice of three tiers of writers — Standard, Expert, and Premium — with three corresponding rates. (Per-word rates can be found on our Solutions pages; based on your exact needs, you can also access a free instant quote.)

Every brand’s needs are unique, but our goal is always the same — to provide you with the best content for your budget.

Standard
  • Skilled writers typically early in their careers
  • May have limited subject-matter expertise, yet highly capable for basic projects
  • Good fit for startups on a budget
Expert
  • Professional journalists and copywriters
  • Specialized subject-matter expertise; proficient in your industry or topic
  • Professional and high-quality
Premium
  • The top writers in our network; among the elite in their industries
  • From journalists from The New York Times to agency veterans to Fortune 500 marketing and communications directors
  • The best writers in the industry

Frequently Asked Questions

If everyone at Prose is a good writer, why do some writers cost more?

We use talented writers at different stages in their careers. Professional writers with impressive credentials command higher rates than talented, lesser-experienced writers who are building their portfolios. At Prose, you have access to the best writers at both ends of the career arc. 

 

How do I select a writer tier?

Once you select your desired content type on our ordering platform, you will be prompted to select a writer tier. The price displayed for the content will correspond to the tier you choose.

Which tier should I select?

Select a tier that suits your budget and your goals. Refer to the menus above to inform your choice. Our editors are here to help anytime via email or phone.

How much do the different tiers cost?

To view basic pricing options for a given content type, organized by tier, please refer to the relevant “Solutions” page. 

As an alternative, you can start filling out an order form which generates pricing automatically. This is especially helpful if you wish to see how pricing is affected by additional factors such as quantity, frequency, length, and delivery date.

How are writers assigned to tiers?

After a writer has been accepted into our network, she or he is assessed by our editors and assigned to an appropriate tier. Assessment criteria include quality and depth of writing samples, professional background, and previous client list. As writers continue to work with us, we regularly re-evaluate their designated tier based on our own appraisal of their work as well as client feedback.

Do writers know which tier they’re in?

No, it’s a blind system. That way no writer ever feels slighted or gets complacent. Instead, every writer remains focused on doing her or his best work.

Can I choose different tiers for different projects?

Absolutely. As an example, you might use a “Premium” writer for several pages of high-visibility web copy but utilize “Standard” for ongoing blog posts.
