How to Pitch Eater
"Eater is for people who care about where they eat. Through our extensive reporting on restaurants and bars, we believe food is culture, identity, and community - and where you eat matters. Our coverage is approachable and fun, but also discerning and skeptical. We lead with humor, taste, and integrity. Our expertise is our biggest strength, but we remain curious and connected to the culture we cover. Eater doesn't just tell you what to care about - we tell you why."
"We are actively seeking pitches from journalists, writers, academics, and other contributors of all backgrounds, especially those whose voices are often underrepresented in media. The hospitality and food industries are among the most dynamic and powerful lenses for storytelling, and we particularly enjoy hearing from writers whose interests, experiences, and areas of expertise originate outside of the food world. All accepted stories go through a collaborative editorial process, and all are paid at competitive rates."
"Across the board, we're looking for pitches that give a clear, concise summary of the subject, angle, or thesis of the proposed piece, and your anticipated story structure. We're looking for pitches that contain answers, not questions. (Or, if you don't have answers, an explanation of why you don't, beyond that you haven't started the reporting yet.) Your pitch should also serve as an example of your writing style and tone."
Eater positions food as culture and identity, and emphasizes approachable, fun yet discerning coverage led by humor. Eater seeks pitches from journalists, writers, academics, and contributors of all backgrounds, prioritizing underrepresented voices and those whose expertise originates outside the food world. Accepted stories undergo a collaborative editorial process and are paid competitively. Pitches must provide a clear summary of the subject, angle, thesis, and anticipated structure; they should offer answers or explain the lack of answers. Submissions must include a brief explanation of qualifications and links to published work or an online portfolio. Certain formats and topics are not considered.
