Our Editorial Guidelines
To ensure that the content on Taste Whisper is high-quality, informative, and engaging, we have a few editorial guidelines that we ask our contributors to follow:
- Originality: We only accept original content that has not been published elsewhere. If you submit a recipe or article to Taste Whisper, please make sure it’s your own work and not a repost from another blog or publication.
- Clarity and Simplicity: Our goal is to make cooking and nutrition accessible to everyone. Please write in clear, simple language that’s easy to understand. Avoid using overly technical terms or jargon, and if you do need to use them, please explain them in a way that’s easy for readers to follow.
- Accuracy: If you’re sharing nutrition advice or health-related information, please ensure that it’s accurate and evidence-based. We value credibility and trustworthiness, so please cite reputable sources if you’re referring to scientific studies or statistics.
- Healthy Focus: While we love all kinds of food, Taste Whisper has a focus on healthy eating. Please make sure that your recipes and tips align with this focus. We’re not necessarily looking for “diet” food, but rather meals that are balanced, nutritious, and made with wholesome ingredients.
- Engagement: We want our readers to feel connected to the content they’re reading. Please write in a friendly, conversational tone that invites readers to engage with your ideas. Whether it’s sharing a personal story, asking a question, or offering a tip, try to create a sense of connection and community.
- Formatting: For ease of reading, please use clear headings and subheadings, bullet points or numbered lists where appropriate, and short paragraphs. This helps break up the text and makes your content more accessible to readers.
