What They’re Looking For:

Family Style commissions timely essays and written-through features exploring culture, design, and fashion through a modern, artistic lens. The editor is especially interested in fresh, stylish, and thoughtful storytelling that connects global trends with everyday life.

Recent stories include:

• Digital archivists scanning the fashion world
• The rise of rom-com nostalgia in modern culture
• When food meets fashion: pastry chef Louis Thompson

If your idea doesn’t fit the October–November window, you’re still encouraged to pitch — the editor is always looking to expand their freelance writer pool for web and print.

Resources/Guides:

• Review Family Style’s latest features to understand tone, structure, and themes.
• Read their fashion and culture essays for style cues — conversational yet refined.
• Keep pitches short and sharp: cover who, what, where, why, and when in a few lines.

How To Get This Client:

To land this gig, you need a clever, creative pitch — something that feels cultural, current, and a little bit cinematic. Introduce yourself briefly, share relevant clips (especially ones with a cultural or design angle), and make your idea irresistible in 2–3 sentences. Editors at Family Style love writers who think visually and write stylishly.
