Deadline: 15 March 2025
Kitchen Work Issue #10 will be devoted to stories about Cities!
Please send us writing about markets, cafes, urban picnics, tiny kitchens, and big dinner tables in your favorite city. The deadline to submit for kitchen work Issue #10 ‘Cities’ is March 15.
We accept submissions of up to 3,000 words about…
foods and wines themselves
cooking
markets
cookbooks
restaurants
personal gastronomic histories
lunch breaks
picnics
culinary educations
politics of food
food and physiology
personal profiles
hospitality
family traditions
the best meals ever
Submissions to kitchen work are gauged for literary quality, focus and intrigue, and not for gastronomic sophistication. We are eager to print stories about fine dining, and also about your mother’s corned beef, or a 14-year-old’s impressions of her school lunches. Of course, all submissions about the work of the kitchen are especially welcome.
Recipes and bottle notes: in addition to general submissions, kitchen work™ also seeks submissions for recipes and bottle notes—a section of the journal devoted to favorite recipes or bottles of wine. These should include the recipe itself, or the name of the wine, and 500 words or fewer about its significance or some experience with it.
HOW TO SUBMIT
Send all inquires to submissions@kitchenwork.com.
Write a brief (100 words or fewer) cover letter in the email body, including word count, and characterization of the submission as non-fiction, fiction or poetry, or of the illustration.
Please submit writing as attachments formatted in Microsoft Word or with Google Docs. Illustrations may be submitted as PDFs.
TERMS
Only previously unpublished works will be considered for publication. Accepted submissions will receive responses within 30 days of submission.
CURRENT RATES
Authors of accepted submissions are paid $0.20 per word. Illustrators are paid $100 per accepted illustration. This payment buys first serial rights in our print and digital editions; the copyright reverts to the author immediately upon publication.
