Our Audience

Food Lovers

Our readers all have one thing in common: they love food and drink.

our audience is predominantly Canadian (over 70%)
75% are women in the 25-44 age bracket
they want to know where their food comes from and the stories of those who produce it or cook it
they love to eat out and are looking for new restaurants to try, not just in their hometown, but in cities they are hoping to visit
they are interested in culinary travel
they are looking for easy, seasonal recipe ideas and entertaining tips
they are interested in easy tips for special diets
they are interested in expanding their culinary horizons

Food Bloggers

We also have a sizeable subset of readers who are food bloggers. While they are included in our overall readership stats and interests, they also have a very specific set of interests that pertain to food blogging:

food photography and food styling
food writing (including freelancing, cookbook writing, magazine writing)
recipe development
blog monetization
social media
small business resources - especially those that are specific to Canada such as legal concerns, tax issues, copyright issues, contest rules and contracts
blog tech and SEO specifically relating to the food blogging niche

What We Are Looking For:

original articles or column ideas that relate to food and drink
original articles or column ideas that relate to blogging
articles that have a Canadian focus
writers who thoughtfully inject their personality and experience into their work
pitches from existing FBC members or Canadian writers

What We Do NOT Want To See:

We are not interested in the following:

pitches for ideas that have already been written about on our site in the last year (please ensure you have browsed our blog resources section, our food and drink section and our restaurant section)
pitches that do not have a Canadian focus
generic listicle articles
generic pitches for content collaborations
requests for link insertions or link exchanges

Food & Drink Related Articles

Food and drink pitches should have a specific theme with a Canadian focus such as: seasonal food or entertaining ideas, related to a specific diet, focused on a specific city or region, kitchen tips or tricks (these are just a few examples). They should be more than just an SEO driven listicle.

These posts are usually 500-1000 words in length and may include a recipe if relevant.

Blog Resource Articles

These articles are usually longer - 500-2000 words - and address a specific aspect of blogging like those listed above. They should contain actionable takeaways that bloggers can put into practice immediately.

We do provide financial compensation for original content.

Submission Guidelines:

All pitches should be submitted to hello@foodbloggersofcanada.com

Prior to submitting an idea, please browse the various sections of our site to get a feel for what we have already published. If your pitch is similar to something we have published in the last 6 months, it will not be considered.
Your material must be original and cannot have appeared on your blog or been published in any other format
Articles should be 500-1000 words for food or drink-related posts and 600 - 2000 words for resource articles. Images are optional but you must be the copyright holder of any images you submit or submit a release from the copyright holder allowing us to use the image for the post.
Please remember our audience is mainly Canadian. Articles should reflect that - especially if you are providing third-party resources for bloggers. References to American or European law or taxation are not relevant to our members.
Please be sure to include your full name and correct email address along with an outline of what you would like to write about.
Please keep in mind that our editorial calendars are determined 2-4 months in advance and seasonal calendars 3-6 months in advance.
