Hed desk questions
What is a Hed Press story?
A product story that opens on the point. The first lines say who it is, what it is, and who it is for, before a reader has to scroll. The rest of the page earns that opening — a permanent story on hedpress.com, not a buried pitch.
Why does the opening matter?
Readers decide in the first lines whether to keep going. Answer engines do the same: they quote a page that already states the product clearly. Hed Press edits the hed and the opener so that decision is possible without wading through filler.
What does a reader learn before the scroll?
The product's name, the job it does, and the person it is for. If those three are missing, the story is not ready. The article then points to the product so someone who recognizes themselves can explore it.
Who should submit a story here?
Makers with a product that can be explained in a sharp opening — a tool, a service, or a launch that has a clear audience. If the story needs a long comparison or a full buyer walkthrough, Listed Press or Piece Press is the better desk.
How do I get a story published?
Create a project, then submit the product for a Hed Press story. The desk writes the opener first and publishes a page readers can open from the public feed. Plan options are on the pricing page.
How is Hed Press different from Lede, Listed, or Piece?
Hed is opener-first: the headline and the first lines carry who, what, and for whom. Lede is a daily edition index. Listed writes criteria-led shortlists. Piece writes longer decision explainers a reader can cite.
