2 Forks Events welcomes contributions from writers with genuine event-industry expertise — in music, weddings, parties, corporate events, or catering. This page sets out what we look for and the standards every contribution must meet. This is editorial contribution, not paid guest posting: we do not accept or publish paid posts or link placements.
What we publish
We publish planning guides, event coverage, and features that are accurate, well-sourced, and written for real readers making real decisions. Good contributions are specific, timely, and genuinely useful rather than promotional — they help a reader understand something or do something better. We are especially interested in clear planning guidance, informed event coverage, and features that draw on real, first-hand expertise.
Who can contribute
We welcome contributions from people with genuine knowledge of some corner of the event world: wedding and event planners, hospitality and catering professionals, music writers, venue and event operators, and others with real, relevant expertise. What matters is that you know your subject and can write about it honestly and clearly, in a way that serves readers rather than promoting a business.
Our editorial standards
All contributions are held to the same standards as our own journalism. That means a named byline; accuracy, including verified event details where relevant; sources cited where the subject warrants; and clear, fair writing. We edit for accuracy, clarity, and honesty, and we may ask you to revise a draft. Opinion and reviews run with the writer clearly identified, and any relevant interest — a connection to an event, venue, or vendor written about — must be disclosed. These standards are described in our Editorial Policy and Ethics Policy.
What we do not accept
We do not accept paid guest posts, sponsored posts dressed as editorial, or link placements — these are incompatible with an independent publication, and requests for them will be declined. We do not accept AI-generated event coverage or reviews submitted as original work, as our AI Content Policy explains. And we do not publish content whose real purpose is to promote the contributor’s own business rather than to inform readers.
Conflicts of interest and rights
We ask contributors to disclose any interest that could reasonably be seen to affect their objectivity. You retain credit for your work through a named byline; by contributing, you grant us the right to publish and edit your piece in connection with 2 Forks Events and our related channels, and you confirm the work is your own and does not infringe the rights of others. For features involving photography, you confirm you have the necessary permissions.
How to pitch us
Email editorial@2forksevents.com with a short pitch: the topic, why it matters now, the angle you would take, and a note on your background and expertise. If you have written on the subject before, a link or two helps. We read every pitch, though we cannot publish them all, and we aim to respond to serious proposals. Writing for 2 Forks Events is a way to reach a real audience of event-goers and planners and to have your name and expertise associated with careful, trustworthy work — it is not a route to advertise a business, and that is precisely what makes it credible.
What happens after you pitch
When you send us a pitch, we read it and assess whether the topic fits our coverage, whether it is timely, and whether it can be treated in a genuinely useful, non-promotional way. If we would like to proceed, we discuss the angle, length, and deadline, and confirm any points on sourcing or disclosure. Not every pitch results in a commission — we receive more ideas than we can publish — but we aim to respond to serious proposals, and a clear, specific pitch on a subject we cover has the best chance.
The editing process
Contributions are edited, as all good writing is. Our editors work with you on accuracy, structure, clarity, and honest framing, and we may ask you to add sources or verify event details. We check that any event specifics are correct and that the piece is useful rather than promotional. Nothing is published under your name without your seeing the edited version, and we will not put words in your mouth or alter your conclusions.
Why contribute
Writing for 2 Forks Events is a way to reach a serious audience of event-goers and planners, to contribute to a genuinely useful publication, and to have your name and expertise associated with careful, trustworthy work. It is not a route to advertise a practice or business — and that is precisely what makes it credible. If that is the kind of contribution you want to make, we would like to hear from you at editorial@2forksevents.com.
In short
We are looking for accurate, useful, genuinely-informed writing about events and event planning, from people who know their subject — published under a named byline, fact-checked, and free of any hidden commercial purpose. We are not looking for, and will not publish, paid guest posts or promotional content dressed as editorial. If that fits the kind of writing you want to do, pitch us at editorial@2forksevents.com with your idea and a note on your expertise.
What contributing offers
Writing for 2 Forks Events puts your work in front of a real, engaged audience of event-goers and planners, and associates your name and expertise with careful, trustworthy journalism. Your byline identifies you and your background, so readers can weigh your perspective, and your piece is edited and fact-checked to the same standard as everything else we publish. It is a place to share genuine expertise and to build a credible public body of work — not a channel to advertise a business. That distinction is exactly what makes a contribution here worth something, and it is why we hold contributions to the standards described above.
If you would like to discuss any of this further, our team is glad to help — email editorial@2forksevents.com and we will respond as promptly as we can. We value clarity and honesty in every relationship, commercial or editorial, and we aim to make working with us straightforward and transparent from the first message onwards.
