Guidelines

People & Food champions “small food businesses from around the world and the people who operate them,” favoring mom-and-pop spots over PR-backed restaurant groups. They want reported stories with direct quotes from chefs, cooks, and owners, overlooked trends, and profiles of food artisans, mostly from New York City, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and nearby areas, and they're open to weekly or monthly series. According to their pitch guide, they pay $0.50 per word, and writers should also supply quality photos. To learn more, refer to their pitch guide, or visit their website.
