What should an editorial pitch include?
- Your name, role and relevant experience
- The proposed topic and why it matters to Boba.guide readers
- The specific format you are proposing
- Links to relevant prior work or professional information
- Whether the material has been published or submitted elsewhere
- Any relationship to a brand, shop, product or service discussed
- Any original images, data or expert access included in the proposal
Do not send a finished generic article first
A concise, specific pitch is more useful than an unsolicited full article written without reference to Boba.guide’s structure, audience or current editorial needs.

What does payment not guarantee?
Payment does not guarantee favorable wording, an independent editorial ranking, undisclosed influence, permanent placement or a dofollow link.
Commercial deliverables, disclosures, link treatment, revision limits and timing should be agreed in writing before work begins.
Proposals that are unlikely to be approved
Unrelated guest posts
Generic articles with no meaningful connection to boba, bubble tea, tea culture or the site’s audience.
Link-only placements
Requests whose main purpose is inserting an unrelated or misleading link into existing content.
Copied or mass-produced content
Plagiarized, spun, duplicated or generic material created without original value or reliable sourcing.
Hidden sponsorships
Paid arrangements that require the commercial relationship to remain undisclosed.
Unsupported claims
Health, dietary, certification, performance or superiority claims that cannot be adequately substantiated.
Restricted categories
Illegal, deceptive, unsafe, exploitative or other offers inconsistent with our advertising standards.
Can products or event access be offered?
Relevant samples, meals, invitations or access may be offered for consideration. Acceptance does not guarantee publication, a positive review, inclusion in a guide or a particular publication date.
The sender should disclose the value, conditions, deadlines, shipping limitations and any requested deliverables before materials are sent.
Should products be sent without approval?
Products should not be shipped without prior written agreement. Boba.guide is not responsible for unsolicited packages, storage, return shipping or loss.
Perishable goods require advance coordination and may be declined because of timing, storage or safety limitations.
What rights must contributors and partners have?
Anyone supplying text, photography, video, logos, product claims, research or other material must have the legal authority to provide it for the proposed use.
Usage rights, attribution, editing permissions, exclusivity and reuse should be agreed before publication.
Originality is required
Do not submit material copied from another website, generated from protected work, taken from an unknown source or supplied without the necessary permission.
How are proposals evaluated?
Proposals may be reviewed for topical fit, reader value, originality, expertise, source quality, rights, commercial transparency, workload and consistency with current site priorities.
We may request clarification, supporting documentation, revised scope or additional disclosure before making a decision.
Will every proposal receive a reply?
Because submission volume may vary, Boba.guide may not respond to every unsolicited pitch. A lack of response should be treated as no current interest rather than approval.
Repeated follow-ups, misleading subject lines or mass outreach may reduce the likelihood of consideration.
Where should proposals be sent?
Send a concise proposal to info@boba.guide. Use a clear subject line such as “Expert contribution,” “Advertising inquiry,” “Product partnership” or “Local shop update.”
Check the appropriate policy
Editorial, advertising, affiliate, image, copyright and AI-related proposals must follow the relevant policy. Reviewing those standards first helps prevent avoidable delays or rejection.
