How it works

From your expertise to a guide that earns.

Apply, verify, build, publish, then earn a cut of every sale. No listing fees, no per-guide cost.

  1. 01

    Apply.

    ~10 min

    Tell us what you’d write, and where you publish today. Applying is free, and you go straight into verification from there.

  2. 02

    Verify, then get reviewed.

    One-time

    Verification comes first: an identity check, a one-time fee, and the account you’ll be paid through. Then we read your application by hand and accept knowledgeable travelers whose recommendations hold up. You can start drafting while you wait; nothing goes live until you’re approved.

  3. 03

    Build your guide.

    A few hours

    The authoring tool turns your notes, transcripts, and past writing into structured entries: hotels, restaurants, neighborhoods, routes. You edit and arrange; the structure does itself.

  4. 04

    Preview and publish.

    Minutes

    See exactly how your guide reads (cover, entries, byline), then publish when it’s ready. Nothing goes live until you say so.

  5. 05

    Earn when it sells.

    Ongoing

    A creator-favorable cut of every sale, paid out through your connected account. Track sales, revenue, and views live in your publisher analytics.

Build fast

Import in bulk or one entry at a time.

You’ve already got the spreadsheet of spots, the saved-place lists, the half-written guide. Import the lot at once and it’s organized into a clean, sellable guide, finished in an afternoon, not a month of data entry.

  • A spreadsheet, one row per place
  • Saved-place lists and maps
  • A guide you’ve already published
Quality

Recommendations that hold up.

We don’t just verify who you are; we review what you know. Every publisher is hand-reviewed for genuine expertise, so the recommendations come from travelers who actually know the place.

01

Apply

Pitch what you’d write and share sample work, so we can see the expertise behind your picks.

02

Reviewed

Our team reads each application by hand and accepts knowledgeable travelers whose recommendations hold up. Curation, not open sign-up.

03 Verified

Verified

A one-time identity check and fee confirm the byline is yours; then your work goes live, vetted and credited.

Two ways to be read

Bought as a guide. Or used in a trip.

Travelers buy your guide and read it on its own, or pull it into an Airheart trip, where Atlas plans the days around your picks. The sale is what pays either way, and your byline stays credited on every pick that carries through.

Bought as a guide You earn on the sale
Used in a trip Your byline stays credited

FAQ

Straight answers.

What does it cost to become a publisher?
There’s a one-time, non-refundable application fee, charged when you apply, not after you’re approved. Once you’re in there’s no listing fee and no per-guide cost: publish as much as you want, and Airheart’s share comes only out of sales, never out of your pocket.
How do I make money?
A creator-favorable cut of every sale, paid out through your connected account. Your rate is set per organization and recorded in your publisher agreement; we don’t change it on you.
Who buys my guide, and how do they use it?
Travelers planning a trip. They can read your guide as a standalone editorial product, or drop it into an Airheart trip so Atlas builds the itinerary around your recommendations. Your byline stays credited on every pick that carries through.
Do I keep my work and my audience?
Yes. You keep your copyright, your byline, and your subscriber list. Buyers can come through your own channels or through marketplace discovery; either way they’re yours.
What happens when I update a guide?
Existing buyers keep their pinned version and see an upgrade prompt. No silent rewrites, no “version 2 is the only one.” Your buyers choose when to move up.
