The Rind and Row

Write for us

We welcome pitches from writers with a clear question about wine, cheese, or regional food culture. A strong proposal gives readers context, not just a list of things to taste.

What we are looking for

Propose an original feature about a place, food tradition, wine term, cheese-making choice, market custom, or the culture of eating and drinking together. Useful pitches explain why the subject matters, what the reader will understand by the end, and how the piece will avoid treating one viewpoint as universal.

A focused pitch

Tell us the working idea, the central question, the likely shape of the piece, and why you are well placed to develop it. Mention any sources or materials you expect to consult and flag uncertainties, access limits, or commercial connections. A concise proposal is more helpful than a finished draft sent without prior discussion.

Send a proposal

Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option, then include your pitch in the message. We cannot promise publication or a particular response time, and a pitch should not contain confidential information or material you do not have permission to share.
