Press Trips
We love hosting individual press trips for editors, writers, publishers and storytellers. We do not host large FAM trips with stacked itineraries and we do not pressure coverage. Instead, we offer a customizable menu of itinerary experiences with our clients that include substantial interview time if you’d like it, or downtime to file a story on deadline or simply brainstorm. Many of our writers unearth multiple story angles in one trip. We schedule press visits year-round. If you are interested in creating a press trip, please contact us.
