UPLOAD YOUR COMPLETED PIECE TO THIS GOOGLE FORM
It doesn’t have to be about food made or cooked at home—as long as you find home in the food!
The plan is to roll out one piece a week, but might increase if it turns out I’m somehow overflowing in submissions. I hope to pay each contributor—a small amount for now, but hopefully I can expand the budget. And I am happy to accommodate any needs for anonymity.
Examples of content I’m looking for:
Personal essay about your favorite restaurant
A short story involving a dish that means a lot to you
A poem that is in recipe or menu form
… anything as long as there is a touch of food and you (be creative, push borders!)
Examples of content I’m not looking for:
Just a recipe. A recipe can be included in the piece—perhaps how you came up with your favorite recipe, even—but it shouldn’t be solely a recipe.
Restaurant reviews - same as others.
Right now, there is no word limit. There are very few limitations. I just want to hear about what you love about food. The work should be previously unpublished. If previously published, it should have some difference from the original published piece + permission from the original publication.
