What They’re Looking For:
Eaten Magazine — the beautifully designed history-focused food publication — is calling for pitches for Issue No. 25: Feasts. The editors want historical essays that explore the theme of “Feasts” in creative, unexpected ways. Think cultural, political, or even humorous angles — anything that dives deep into food and history.

Your final story should:

• Be historical in nature (not modern journalism with a sprinkle of history).
• Present a clear argument or interpretation of past events.
• Answer questions like “Why was the past like this?” and “What evidence proves this?”
• Offer an engaging, thought-provoking take — not just “the history of X.”

Example: Instead of “the history of cheese,” pitch something like “Why Samuel Pepys buried his cheese during the Great Fire of London.”

Pieces should be between 1,000–1,500 words, and writers are encouraged to take unique or playful angles that still tie back to the feast theme.
