Expertise
What you know from doing this every day, made useful to someone who does not.
What makes it work: One clear lesson, explained the way you would to a client across the table.
Open to everyone who makes this place what it is
Got a story worth telling?
Real estate agents, home-service pros, boutiques and restaurants, yacht and aviation companies, homeowners with a great story — whoever you are, if it's good, we want to hear it. Takes about five minutes, and we read every word.
Real reach
Every story is read by our editors and, once approved, runs in Estate Lifestyles.
Real credit
Your name goes with it — and your company or business too, if you'd like it there.
Real people read it
Every submission is read by an actual editor. Not a spam filter, not an algorithm — a person.
What we are looking for
Something new
A first, an opening, a launch, a collaboration, a change worth knowing about.
What makes it work: Say what is new and why it matters to readers now, in the first lines.
Trends
What is changing in how people live, design, dine, travel or buy, and why.
What makes it work: Not just that something is up or down, but the reason, with a real example or figure.
Something special
A person, a place or an experience that makes a reader say they did not know that existed.
What makes it work: Specific, sensory details and real names. Show the thing rather than describing it as exceptional.
A product or service worth knowing
Something useful, beautiful or clever, told as a story and not as a sales sheet.
What makes it work: How it is made or done, who it is for, and what it replaces. Readers should learn something even if they never buy.
Local knowledge
The neighborhood, the season, the insider's guide that only someone who lives here would write.
What makes it work: Places and people by name, and a recommendation you would make to a friend.
How it works
- 1
Send it
5 minutes for an idea
Pitch an idea in a few lines, or write the full article here, photos and all.
- 2
An editor reads it
Usually within a few business days
Every submission is read by a person. Nothing goes live without an editor's review.
- 3
We work on it with you
Usually 1 to 2 weeks
Editors may ask you a question, tighten the writing, and check the facts, photos and credits before it is scheduled.
- 4
We choose where and when
Usually within a few weeks of approval
Editors decide which of our magazines and sites it suits, and schedule it around what else is running.
- 5
It runs, with your name on it
On the day it goes live
Your name, and your company if you would like it there, are credited on every site it appears on.
From first send to publication, allow about a month. Some pieces move faster; some wait for the right issue.

A few notes is plenty — or paste a full draft if you've already written one. Either way, an editor shapes it before it runs.
We'll only use your name and email to follow up about this submission — never sold, never added to a marketing list without asking first.
