We welcome pitches that connect a food detail to a larger sense of place: an ingredient and its landscape, a market and its networks, or a cooking tradition shaped by movement and change.
What makes a strong pitch
Bring a focused question, a distinct angle, and a clear reason the subject suits Food and Places. Tell us what the reader will understand by the end, which places or traditions are involved, and what reliable material could support the piece. Broad themes need a precise entry point; a narrow detail can open a wider story.
What to send
Use the Contact page to propose your idea. Include a working title, a short summary, the category it fits, and relevant experience or published work if you wish. We consider reported features, explainers, and thoughtful essays. Please send a proposal rather than a finished article unless we have requested one.
Our process
We look for clear, original work with careful context and a readable voice. We may ask questions or suggest a narrower scope. A pitch is not a commission, and any agreed assignment will have its own terms.
