GFS Contributor Guidelines

Interested in writing a guest post for Good. Food. Stories.? What a funny coincidence—we’re always interested in hearing from new contributors! Please keep the following guidelines in mind when proposing and writing a potential piece:

• Our main objective is good storytelling. Personal opinions, anecdotes, experiences should be at the forefront; while we strive to educate as well as entertain, we’re not looking for purely informative “how-to” pieces. We welcome personal essays, restaurant/book/movie reviews, opinion or trend pieces, or other new and creative ideas. Inject your personality into the piece!
• Posts must consist of original content that has not been published elsewhere.
• Posts must be accompanied by at least three original photos at least 500px wide.
• Post length should be no less than 500 words (500-800 is ideal).
• All posts should have two external (outbound) links to other sites, and at least one internal (inbound) link to another GFS post.
• Regarding word choice: overuse of “delicious” or “tasty” is not really what we’re going for; get creative, talk about how briny, jaw-breaking, dense, or delicately flowery your food is instead!
• We’ll also need a few sentences on you for a contributor introduction: Where are you from? Do you love your day job? What do you do when you’re not cooking? Again, personality is paramount.

Email us with your thoughts and stories—we’re looking forward to hearing from you!
