Q&A: How to pitch food stories to the Independent

"Looking to land coverage in the Independent’s food and drink section? Join us on 19th February as we sit down with editor Hannah Twiggs. Having interviewed Michelin-starred chefs, covered government reports on nutrition and dispatched from top food destinations across the world, we’ll be asking Hannah about what makes a pitch shine for her. We’ll get into:

• How to make your email stand out in a crowded inbox
• What angles are right (and not quite right) for the Independent’s 20m strong audience
• The stories she's looking for more of in 2026"
