Quick answer: 2 Forks Events welcomes writers who know events, food and drink. If you want to write for us, send a short pitch through the contact page with your idea and outline. We publish original, first-hand guides and features that genuinely help readers — guest posts written purely for links are not what we are after.
Key takeaways
- Who can contribute: anyone with real experience of events, hospitality, food or drink.
- What we want: original, accurate, first-hand articles readers can act on.
- How to pitch: send an idea, angle and short outline before writing the full draft.
- Editorial standards: we edit for accuracy and clarity; contributions are not paid placements.
- Links: a relevant author or source link is fine; we do not accept guest posts written only to place links.
Why write for 2 Forks Events
Writing for a specialist publication puts your work in front of readers who genuinely care about where to go and what to eat. You reach an engaged audience, build a public portfolio with a byline, and get editorial feedback that improves your craft. For organisers and hospitality professionals, a well-written guide is a lasting resource that keeps sending interested readers your way long after a social post disappears. This is a “become a contributor” route, not a marketing channel — the value is the audience and the credibility.
What we publish
We look for practical, first-hand pieces our readers can use:
- City and neighbourhood guides to eating, drinking and events.
- Festival and event previews, round-ups and survival guides.
- Venue and restaurant features written from real visits.
- Food and drink explainers: trends, tastings, pairings and how-tos.
- Behind-the-scenes pieces on organising and running events.
Guest post guidelines
To keep quality high and review quick, please follow these guidelines:
- Original work only — not published elsewhere, not spun or churned out without real knowledge.
- Accurate and current — dates, prices and details must be right at the time of writing.
- Clear structure — descriptive headings, short paragraphs and useful specifics.
- Roughly 900–2,000 words, matched to the depth of the topic.
- First-hand where possible — write about places and events you actually know.
- Disclose any interest — tell us if you run or work with a venue or event you mention.
How to submit a guest post
- Pitch first — send your idea, angle and a short outline via the contact page.
- We respond — if it fits, we confirm scope, length and any angle notes.
- You draft — write the full article following the guidelines above.
- We edit — we may tighten, fact-check and format, then confirm with you.
- We publish — with your byline and, where relevant, a short author bio.
What makes a pitch stand out
- A specific, fresh angle rather than a topic already covered everywhere.
- Evidence you actually know the subject — real visits, real detail.
- A clear reader takeaway: what someone can do or where they can go after reading.
- A voice that informs and enthuses rather than sells.
What we will not accept
We turn down submissions that exist mainly to place links, thin or duplicated content, undisclosed promotional pieces, and anything that misleads readers about an event or venue. If your real goal is promotion, that is fine — but the honest route is sponsored content or a feature, clearly labelled, not a disguised guest post. We do not sell undisclosed or disguised paid links inside contributed articles.
Editing and rights
We copy-edit for clarity, accuracy and house style, and we may add internal links to related guides. You keep credit as the author. We ask for the right to publish and keep the piece on 2 Forks Events; anything unusual we will discuss up front. If details change after publication — a venue closes, a date moves — we may update the piece and will work with you on it.
Guest post topics we accept
We welcome events guest posts and contributor articles from writers with genuine expertise. Popular topics for a events guest post on 2 Forks Events include:
- event planning
- venues
- food and drink
- festivals
- hospitality
If your idea is a strong fit for our readers and is not already covered, we would like to hear it.
Guest post guidelines
To keep quality high, every events guest post must be original and unpublished, accurate and well-sourced, genuinely useful rather than promotional, and written in clear language. We edit accepted drafts to our standard and may add or adjust links for relevance. Purely promotional pieces are welcome too, but they run as clearly labelled sponsored content, not as an editorial guest post.
How to submit a guest post
- Read these guest post guidelines and check we cover your topic.
- Send a short pitch — working title, angle, why it helps our readers, and a line on your background — via our contact page.
- On approval, send the draft; we review it for accuracy and fit.
- We edit, schedule and publish, crediting you as a guest author.
