Pellicle is a beautifully crafted publication that celebrates the joy of food, drink, and place. They’re looking for stories that connect readers to the heart of culture through taste and experience.

They want work that captures authenticity — think human-centered narratives, emotional travelogues, or stories that reveal the soul of a producer, bar, vineyard, or region. Whether it’s exploring biodiversity in wine, the rise of craft beer, or untold stories of local brewing traditions — Pellicle values deep, meaningful storytelling.

What They’re Looking For:

• Narrative-style profiles of exceptional people, places, or products.
• First-person essays or travel pieces with a strong sense of place.
• Investigative stories exploring social issues in food and drink.
• Insightful Q&As with industry voices and changemakers.
