Submission Process
For peacefuldumpling.com (Vegan and sustainable lifestyle)

Understand our content.
Please take the time to get to know our content, especially the topics that we cover, format, and our general prose style. Most of our articles fall into one of 3 types:

  1. Informative lifestyle articles, often in list or how-to format (“5 Best…” “10 Ways to…” “How to…”), on healthy eating, fitness, nutrition, wellness, mind + body, sustainability, natural and vegan beauty, etc.
  2. Vegan recipe or fitness tutorials with high-quality original photographs.
  3. Longform travelogue or personal essay about a poignant and thought-provoking topic.

Our mission is to keep the message positive, informative, and encouraging for all our readers (both vegan and non-vegan), so we do not publish articles like “How to Defend Veganism/Why I’m Vegan.”

Email your article to [email protected].
Please insert the article text in the body of the email and attach photos (if any) in JPEG format. Recipe submissions must have original photos (your own) attached. Other types of articles may use a royalty-free, license-cleared images from either Wikipedia Commons, Flickr Creative Commons, or similar. The images should be no smaller than 425 x 400 px and must have the photo credit listed (ie. “Photo: Jellybelly via Flickr” or “Photo: Jennifer Brown”).

In the body of the email, please also include your author bio (2-4 sentences about yourself, including social media platforms) and an author photo.
