We want to publish your stories about food & family!
SUBMIT TO ONE POTATO - COMMUNITY VOICES
Our goal is to provide a newsletter that shares authentic stories about families and food that are important to our audience. So, we’re searching for parents to share their experiences, stories, and recipes through our guest posting program. Our community is diverse and multi-faceted, and our community voices, recipes, and published writing reflect that.
We’re looking for advice, stories, and educational posts: your reflections on the struggles of feeding picky eaters, stories about meal time or family cooking traditions, or dietary restrictions that have impacted the lives of your family or your child are just a few examples.
We feature guest writing from parents who are home cooks, parents who don’t like to cook, and parents who are social media savvy influencers. Our goal with One Potato is NOT to be a one-person personality platform, but a community and resource of many real voices and stories. We strive to feature writers, parents, and families of all backgrounds, cultures, traditions, and identities, living anywhere, published and unpublished.
This is an unpaid opportunity to have your writing published and shared with our Substack Newsletter and community, which is emailed to over 60,000 subscribers weekly.
