Contributor Guidelines for Taste of Home

Want to send in your favorite recipe or handy tip, fun idea or photo to share with other readers? We'd love to hear from you. Here's how to get involved:

  1. It's easy to submit recipes and other submissions! Simply click on the Submit a Recipe button or E-mail them to editors@tasteofhome.com. If you have a particular department or feature in mind, please type it in the subject line of the form or your E-mail message.
  2. When sending recipes, please be specific with directions, measurements and sizes of cans, packages and pans. Also, please share a few words about the recipe and yourself. (For recipe contest entries, please see additional directions on the contest submission link.)
  3. After you submit materials, please be patient. Due to the large volume, it can take our small staff several months to review materials. We may hold your material without informing you, but we will let you know if we publish something you have submitted. Materials that won't fit in Taste of Home may be considered for our Web sites, cookbooks, promotions and other publications.
  4. By submitting material for publication, you grant Reiman Media Group, Inc., its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners and licensees use of the material, including your name, hometown and state.

    We reserve the right to modify, reproduce and distribute the material in any medium and in any manner or appropriate place. We test recipes submitted to us and reserve the right to alter them as needed. We may contact you via phone, E-mail or mail regarding your submission.
  5. If you'd like to send submissions via regular mail, please address them to: Taste of Home, 5925 Country Lane, Greendale WI 53129. If you have a particular department in mind, please print it on the front of the envelope. You can send recipe cards or photocopies of family cookbooks, and they can be hand-printed or typed on a sheet of paper…whatever is easiest for you. If you would like mailed materials returned, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
  6. Sending photos? We accept 35mm color prints or high-resolution digital photos. Please submit digital images as jpegs at 300 dpi.
