Guest Post FAQ
Eat Drink Better is always open to accepting relevant, well-written guest posts from sustainable food experts. We get a high volume of inquiries, so we’re not able to accept all posts. Before contacting us about guest posting, please read over our FAQ.
Do you accept guest posts?
Yes!
Can I cross-post something from my own website?
No. We require that all guest posts be original pieces written for Eat Drink Better’s audience. You are free to publish your guest post on your site, but we do ask that you wait seven (7) days after the post publishes on Eat Drink Better before publishing elsewhere.
What should I post about?
Our readers are very concerned with the social, environmental, and health impacts of their food choices. They’re not looking for “green basics.” Our readers are savvy, and they’re interested in news and opinions from sustainable food experts.
It’s also a good idea to look over our site and see what we’re posting about to get a feel for the site’s topics and tone.
How long should my post be?
We do not have a minimum or maximum post length. However many words you need to say what you want to say works for us. What’s more important to us is that your post have useful, well-sourced information and that it be well written.
Can I include a bio?
Yes! You’re welcome to include a 2-3 sentence blurb at the bottom of your guest post about yourself and what you do.
