FROM THE FOUNDER

Hey fellow writer,

Like you, I love to write. From penning stories as a kid to saving up for an MFA in creative writing to freelance blogging, I share your passion. 

But passion doesn't always pay the bills. And even with the content marketing revolution and the booming gig economy, being a freelancer can still be tough. 

Let's face it —  if you're like most writers, you spend too many hours hunting for new clients, drafting proposals, and fighting bidding wars on freelance marketplaces. Worst of all, you have to sift through far too many low-quality, low-paying gigs to find the gold.

Fortunately, with more and more brands realizing that the age of the internet requires a deft touch, the value of high-quality prose over cheap SEO drivel is rising. That's where Prose Media comes in.

Instead of spending your time haggling, bookkeeping, and tracking down clients, you can finally focus on what you love — the craft of writing. Write from anywhere, anytime, on your own schedule; choose the projects you want; and determine your own rates. Discover an additional source for gigs as a freelance independent contractor for Prose Media.

The corporate world can always use more good writing from a community of serious writers. So while we can accept only a percentage of those who apply, we promise we will read your application with attention and care.

Fondly,
Justin

Assignments come to you

No need to waste hours scouring a database for gigs and “bidding.” Instead, receive an email when we have an assignment that fits your skill set — and decide if it's for you. 

Be your own boss

As an independent contractor, claim only the projects that interest you and fit with your schedule.

Freelancers set their own hours, work from wherever they want, whenever they want.

Focus on writing, not paperwork

Do what you love, without the stress of marketing, client relations, or invoicing.

Keep track of your workflow in one place with a sleek platform that makes life easy.

Free, no obligation

There are no signup or membership fees of any kind.

Get paid fairly and quickly

Quality work deserves fair pay—on time. That’s why we let you set your own rates. Just specify your desired pay range (per word and/or per project) and we won’t bother you with projects below your range.

Interesting gigs from innovative brands

Don’t settle for churning out hack copy and fluff. We attract forward-thinking clients who appreciate good writing. At Prose, you get to use your brain.

Improve your craft, build your career

Hone your craft, expand your repertoire, and benefit from friendly feedback. Satisfied clients mean more work and further opportunities, as well as a strengthened skill set.

We love writers—and show it

Prose Media is a bit like an MFA community—a friendly, supportive network of hand-picked wordsmiths. We genuinely enjoy building personal relationships with writers and getting to know each one on a first-name basis.

Prose Media assignments were instrumental in expanding my professional portfolio. Instructions were consistently clear, revision requests were rare, and payment was always reliable and hassle-free. Prose is the 'real deal' for top-notch freelance writers.

Prose Media has given me the freedom to freelance without the hassle. Say "goodbye" to chasing down payments, time-wasting meetings, and difficult clients. Prose Media handles it all, freeing up my time to do what I do best: write clever content that delivers.
