Rooted’s Submission Guidelines
Updated May 2026
Rooted is about you.
It’s about your relationship with food. Wine. Beer. Coffee. Dining culture. Restaurants. Food history. Food travel. Food culture.
Something funny happened in a diner? Tell us about it. Got something to say about society and food? Write it here.
I want your opinions. I want your experience. I want you to tell me what you think about food and drink. It’s a universal human experience. So let’s talk about it.
How to get added as a writer
When you have an article ready, you can send it directly through Medium to Rooted for consideration. You do not need to be a writer for Rooted to send us a story.
Please note we only accept draft submissions.
When it comes to timings on feedback, please note we don’t work on weekends and all our editors work within the Greenwich Mean Time zone.
What we’re looking for
- Personal stories, opinion pieces and persuasive essays about food and/or drink.
- Social and cultural commentary around food and/or drink.
- Humorous stories about food and drink. We don’t have to take food and drink writing so seriously!
