Every Business Feature published in The Hometown Collective is professionally written by our editorial team.

Rather than asking you to write the article yourself, we'll use the information provided in this form to craft a polished, engaging story that reflects your business while maintaining the magazine's editorial style.

If additional information is needed, a member of our team may contact you for a brief interview.

A draft of your Business Feature will be emailed to you at least 15 days prior to the publication of the issue for factual review and approval.

Business Features may also include additional editing for clarity, grammar, style, length, and overall readability.

To be considered for the next issue, Business Feature Inquiry Forms must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the scheduled print date. (The first Wednesday of the seasonal issue)

Submissions received after the deadline may be scheduled for a future issue based on availability.

Submission of this Business Feature Inquiry Form does not guarantee publication or create a contractual relationship with The Hometown Collective.

Business Features are sponsored, paid editorial content and are subject to availability, editorial standards, and publication schedules. All inquiries are reviewed by our editorial team, and acceptance is at the sole discretion of The Hometown Collective.

If your inquiry is accepted, you will receive a Business Feature Agreement outlining the scope of the feature, publication details, pricing, payment terms, and approval process. Your feature will not be scheduled until the agreement has been signed and any required payment has been received.

The Hometown Collective reserves the right to edit all Business Features for clarity, grammar, style, length, formatting, and consistency with the magazine's editorial standards while preserving the factual accuracy of the content.

If your submission is selected for publication, a $150.00 invoice and a Sponsored Article Agreement will be emailed to you within approximately 48 business hours. Once your signed agreement and payment have been received, our editorial team will begin developing your professionally written article.
