About Carma’s Cookery
Carma’s Cookery is a blog about unleashing your kitchen creativity. It is about supporting home cooks in creatively solving cooking issues, as well as creatively adding their own style and flair to meals and gatherings. In addition, it helps them do so with both flavor and health in mind.
The goal of this blog is to reach new and intermediate-level home cooks who are looking for ways to improve their cooking and find their own style in the kitchen.
Who Can Write for Us?
I’m open to all submissions as long as I feel they are in alignment with the mission of this blog and will be of value to its current and future readers.

Post Length: For SEO, posts must be at least 500 words long. I’ll accept articles up to 1500 words long.

Citing sources: Be sure to cite your sources!
Links in Content: You are welcome to include one link to your site in the body of the article, as well as in your by line. A link to relevant content on Carma’s Cookery should also be included, as this helps with SEO.

Submission Guidelines:
Accepted Formats: Word or text document attached to the email.
Point of Submission: Send your submission to editor[at]carmascookery[dot]com.

General Considerations
Don’t worry if it takes a couple of weeks to get back to you. Carma’s Cookery is a labor of love, but it is also a side project. It doesn’t get the first priority in my day.
I will respond to your email if you’ve followed the guidelines. If not, then I may ignore your emails and not respond.
At this point in time, I do not provide editorial commentary on rejected submissions.
