Want To Contribute?
First, there are two types of content pieces we publish, articles and interviews.
We don’t accept unsolicited submissions for either, but we do accept pitches for both.
After you pitch an idea, we may invite you to create your masterpiece to be added to our editorial calendar.
Fair warning, we’re a bit strict with our guidelines when it comes to guest submissions because we take a lot of pride in delivering quality content to the Entrepreneurial Chef community.
So, if think you’ve got what it takes than read on!
Please note: If your pitch does not adhere to the guidelines below, you may not receive a response.
