Louisiana Cookin' Writers' Guidelines

Please submit a resume, 3 clips and a cover letter stating your knowledge of Louisiana food to Jyl our Editor. Queries are accepted the same way. Please do not send a query without a resume, clips and cover letter.

Louisiana Cookin’ is seeking writers who are familiar with the culinary traditions of Louisiana and its Cajun and Creole heritage. Writers should be extremely knowledgeable about food and cooking.  Louisiana Cookin’ is available at select Barnes and Noble stores nationwide as well as throughout Louisiana at many retail locations. To locate a copy see here. If you can't find a copy at your local retailer please order on line or call 888

All freelancers are paid on publication. Invoices must be emailed to our Accounting department - our office address is at the bottom of each page. Louisiana Cookin’ is published 6 times per year (Jan, Mar, May, July Sept, Nov). We do not publish fiction or poetry. The pay rate is between $.12 and $.18 per word depending on the amount of research involved and the placement within the magazine (feature or department). We buy first-time North American rights for the magazine, website, email newsletter, promotional materials, and any other Louisiana Cookin’-branded property. Because of the amount of queries we receive, we cannot respond to every one.

Thank you for your interest in Louisiana Cookin’.
