At Pellicle our primary objective is to produce joyful, uplifting stories that celebrate the drinks, food and places we love. We want to put our readers at the front and centre of every story, opening up the all-too-often closed culture that the food and drink industry can present.
We are primarily interested in the following types of story:
- Narrative-style profiles of exceptional producers, places and products. Example: Where the Wild Things Are — The Joy of Harvey’s Sussex Best
- First-person experiences or travelogues that showcase a deep sense of person and/or place. Example: Angels in the Sky — Getting Philosophical with Biodynamic Wine Pioneers Rudolf and Rita Trossen
- Original investigative reporting on challenging topics within the beer, wine, and cider industries. Example: Disability, Pubs and Taprooms — The Invisible Barriers Preventing Diversity in British Beer Culture
- Thought provoking Q&A’s with people who have perspective both inside and outside of the industry. Example: A Diamond in the Rough — Meeting Cider Legend Roger Wilkins
